[INTRODUCTION]
Account
A PLTFRMS account is required to access and use the platform. It represents an individual user and is used to authenticate actions across the system.
An account itself does not own resources directly. Instead, it is granted access to one or more organisations.
Organisation access
Each account can be associated with one or multiple organisations.
This allows you to:
- Work across different projects or environments
- Access multiple clients as a reseller or partner
- Separate personal, team, or production contexts
Your access is always scoped through the organisations you are part of.
Roles and groups
Access within an organisation is controlled through roles and groups.
- Roles define what actions you are allowed to perform
- Groups allow you to organise accounts and assign permissions at scale
By combining roles and groups, you can precisely control who can access what, and what they are allowed to do.
Under the hood
PLTFRMS uses its own built-in Identity and Access Management (IAM) system to handle authentication, authorization, and access control across the platform.
This means:
- Accounts, roles, and permissions are managed natively within PLTFRMS
- Access decisions are enforced consistently across all products
- Authentication and organisation scoping are unified in a single system
This internal IAM layer is the foundation that powers secure access across the entire platform.
Why it matters
Separating accounts from organisations provides:
- Flexible access control across multiple contexts
- Secure delegation of permissions
- A scalable way to manage teams and external users
This model ensures that access remains structured and manageable as your usage of PLTFRMS grows.
