Control who has access to Sift and what they can do by inviting users, organizing them into groups, and assigning roles that define their permissions.

​
Before you begin

  • You have an Admin role. Only Admins can invite, deactivate, and reactivate users.

​
How user management works

Access in Sift is controlled through groups. Each user belongs to one or more groups, and each group is assigned a role that determines what its members can do. Users with email addresses matching the organization’s domain are added automatically during sign-up. Users outside the domain must be manually invited and assigned to a group. Only users with the Admin role can invite, deactivate, and reactivate user accounts. Deactivating a user account automatically deactivates all API keys associated with that user. To manage permissions for users, Sift uses authorization models. By default, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) controls access through the groups you create in Sift. For more granular control, Data Access Governance (DAG) can be configured to further restrict access within the boundaries set by RBAC. To set up DAG, see Set up Data Access Governance (DAG).
