Managing access in the portal
Overview of organizations, team members, apps, and access in the Sitecore Cloud Portal.
If you have an Organization Admin or Organization Owner role, you can define what apps a team member can access, their role in each app, and the work they can do in the portal.
You can manage the access of a team member when you invite them to your organization and from the Team members page.
Organization
An organization is a collection of related team members and Sitecore products. An organization can have one or more Sitecore products, with multiple instances of each product.
An enterprise company or a solution partner might have multiple organizations, while a smaller company might have one organization.
Each organization uses a set of rules to determine who can access each product and what work they can do.
Team member
A team member is a user in the portal. A team member's access role determines the apps they can open and the work they can perform.
A team member can be part of multiple organizations and have different roles in each organization or app.
App
An app is an instance of a Sitecore product. For example, a company might have three XM Cloud apps in its organization: one for development, staging, and production.
The organization of a Sitecore solution partner might contain multiple apps of XM Cloud for each of its customers.
In the portal, there are two levels of access: Organization access and App access.
Organization access
Every team member has an organization access role. You can assign an organization role to a team member when you invite them to your organization and modify their role.
All team members have one of the following organization roles:
Note
You cannot change your organization role or remove yourself from an organization.
App access
If a team member has an Organization User role, you can give them access to specific apps by assigning them an app access role. Team members with an Organization Admin or Organization Owner role automatically have an Admin role in all apps.
Each app role corresponds to a specific role depending on the Sitecore product.
Note
To access the XM Cloud Deploy App, you must have an Organization Admin or Organization Owner role.
