You can now assign more granular roles to users in your Weaviate Cloud organization. We are expanding role-based access control (RBAC) for the Cloud console with two new roles — Editor and Viewer — that add to the existing Owner and Admin roles, giving organizations more control over resource access.
Role-based access control is a security best practice and a standard feature in modern cloud platforms. It provides a structured way to grant, organize, and delegate permissions across the people and applications working with your cloud resources. RBAC reduces the risk of accidental changes, limits the blast radius of mistakes, and gives security and platform teams the clarity they need to scale Weaviate Cloud usage across an organization.
By assigning Editor or Viewer roles instead of sharing full access, organizations can apply the principle of least privilege, ensuring team members have only the access they need to do their jobs. This applies whether you're a small team of developers or an enterprise rolling out Weaviate across multiple business units.
Weaviate Cloud roles and use cases
Within a Weaviate Cloud organization, every user can be assigned one of four roles. Each role grants a specific set of permissions across organization settings, billing, cluster management, and access to cluster data.
