Build your team in Tigris with Organizations. Manage all your team’s objects under a single Organization – with billing, role management, and sharing capabilities all in one place. Every Tigris user has an Organization automatically created upon signup and can create additional Organizations as needed.

User roles and permissions

Organizations have two member roles:

Members can list all buckets and create new buckets within the Organization. They have access to all buckets shared with the Organization.
Admins have full access to all buckets and can manage Organization members and their permissions.

The Owner – the user who created the Organization – has the same privileges as an Admin but cannot be removed from the Organization or downgraded from Admin to Member. The Owner is also responsible for the Organization’s billing.

note

Tigris supports logging in natively and logging in with a Fly account. Only users with a Tigris native account may join a Tigris Organization. If you’re using your Fly account to login to Tigris, you must use Fly Organizations to manage your team.

If you would like to manage your team in a native Tigris Organization, you can migrate your Fly Organization to a native Tigris Organization. To initiate an account migration, contact us at help@tigrisdata.com. Your data will not move, your access keys will continue to work as normal, and you’ll get a separate Tigris bill.

Manage Organizations in Fly

Go to the Fly Dashboard.
Click on Account in the upper right corner and select Organizations.
Click on the Organization you’d like to manage.
In the left menu, click Team.
To elevate a Member’s permissions, click Promote to Admin.
To downgrade a Member’s permissions, click Demote to member.
To remove a Member from the Organization, click Remove.

If you use Fly to login to Tigris, Tigris will use the Fly Organization to manage access. All changes to Fly Organizations are reflected in Tigris access controls, but creating a Fly Organization does not create a Tigris Organization. Users who login with Fly must use Fly Organizations.

Manage permissions

To change permissions for a Member:

Go to the Tigris Dashboard.
Click on your account name in the upper right corner and select Members.
In the Member list, select Admin or Member permission level.

note

The Organization owner cannot be downgraded to a Member.

Share a bucket with an Organization

To share a bucket with all users in your organization:

Go to the Tigris Dashboard.
Click on the bucket you want to share.
Click on the Share button.
Find your organization in the Access search bar and assign the desired permission.
Click on the Save changes button.

Once the bucket is shared, all users in the organization will be able to see it in their dashboard and access its content based on the role you assigned. Users will also be able to create access keys for the shared bucket to access that bucket programmatically.

When the share is revoked, the access keys created by other users in your organization will no longer have access to the bucket.
