Users and Teams

Users and teams are the core entities in Palette that help you manage access and permissions. Users are individual entities that can log in to Palette and perform actions based on their assigned roles. Teams are groups of users to whom you can assign roles, reducing the challenges of managing user access at the individual level.

Users

Users can be created by tenant administrators or other users with a tenant role that has the user.create permission. To learn how to create and manage users, refer to the Create and Manage a User guide.

Teams

Teams are made up of users. A team can have multiple users, and each user can belong to multiple teams. Teams are assigned roles, which determine the permissions and access levels of the users in the team. To learn how to create and manage teams, refer to the Create and Manage a Team guide.

Manage User Access with Identity Providers

Palette supports integration with Identity Providers (IDP) to manage user access. You can use an IDP to authenticate users and manage their access to Palette. If you use an IDP, user management is handled by the IDP, meaning you no longer create and manage the user accounts in Palette. User permissions are determined by the Palette team to which users are mapped in the IDP and the Palette roles assigned to that team.

To learn how to configure an IDP, refer to the SAML and OIDC SSO Setup section and the various IDP-specific guides.
