Permissions
Project roles and API key scopes that control who can change what.
Project roles
Role | Can do |
|---|---|
Owner | Everything, including billing and deleting the project. |
Admin | Manage environments, keys, members and production migrations. |
Developer | Push to development and preview branches, deploy functions. |
Viewer | Read schema, logs and metrics. No writes. |
API key scopes
Keys are created per environment and carry scopes. Give each service the smallest scope it needs.
Rules still apply
Scopes decide which endpoints a key can call. Row-level rules still decide which rows it can see.
