Access management

Control who can make changes to your databases using the Redis Cloud console.

The Access management screen helps you manage:

  • The team of users allowed to access your subscription and its databases.
  • The API keys that authenticate application access to your account.
  • Single sign-on (SSO) with SAML.

Here, you learn how to manage your team's users and control their level of access.

For help managing API keys, see Manage API keys.

The Team tab lets you manage the people allowed to access your account. Each authorized person is assigned to a role that specifies their privileges.

Roles and responsibilities are:

    Each subscription must have at least one account owner. Accounts can have multiple owners.

    Owners can also manage subscriptions, databases, and API keys.

  • Billing Admin can view and edit settings related to billing and payments.

    Billing Admins can add and remove payment methods and change the payment method for a subscription, but they cannot change any other subscription or database settings.

  • Manager can view, create, and edit any setting in the subscription.

    Managers can change subscription costs and change payment methods associated with a subscription, but they cannot add or remove available payment methods.

  • Member can view, create, and edit databases in ways that do not impact costs.

    Members cannot create databases or edit databases in ways that impact costs.

  • Viewer can view all databases and their configurations, including database secrets.

  • Logs viewer can not access the Redis Cloud console. They are only allowed access to the Redis Cloud API GET logs/ endpoint.
