Users

The controller is the central place for user-oriented administration. Use users to model who is responsible for access and which nodes belong to that person or team.

The Users view lists users, their roles, and their default groups. New nodes added by a user automatically receive that user's default groups, keeping resource access consistent across the user's devices.

The current documentation does not assume a specific identity provider or user lifecycle integration. Document only the user model that is available in your deployment.

Roles

Users have one of these roles:

Permission	Owner	Admin	Editor	Member
Full access to everything	✅	✅	❌	❌
Transfer ownership	✅	❌	❌	❌
Remove Owner	❌	❌	❌	❌
Edit nodes, resources, and policies	✅	✅	✅	❌
Manage members and tokens	✅	✅	❌	❌
Access member list	✅	✅	❌	❌
Read-only network access	✅	✅	✅	✅

Only one user can be Owner. Admin, Editor, and Member can be assigned to multiple users.

Recommended model

• Keep users distinct from nodes.
• Assign access through groups and policies instead of broad network membership.
• Remove or disable access when a user no longer needs it.
• Review nodes associated with a user before granting sensitive access.

Users help administrators reason about ownership. Actual traffic permissions are still expressed through Netsody networks, groups, and policies.

See Groups and Policies for the access model.
