How-to: Changing user roles and access
Changing a user's role allows you to modify their access level and permissions within your organization. This guide walks you through changing roles and explains important considerations.
Before you begin
Before changing a user's role, ensure that:
- You have Owner permissions in your organization
- You've reviewed any API keys associated with the user
- You understand the implications of the new role's permissions
Warning: API Key Impact
Changing a user's role will automatically invalidate all API keys associated with that user. This can lead to:
- Service disruptions and cluster downtime
- Break automated processes and CI/CD pipelines
- Disconnect third-party integrations
Always review and replace affected API keys before proceeding with role changes.
