First steps
Access to data and actions within Opaque is governed by role-based access control (RBAC). Users are assigned specific roles—such as organization admin, workspace admin, or workspace member (user)—which determine what they can see and do in Opaque. Admins create workspaces and invite members to join; users simply sign in to begin collaborating.
Roles at a glance
What you can do in Opaque depends on your role:
- Organization admins (provisioned by Opaque) primarily assign workspace admins and access organization-wide audit logs.
- Workspace admins create workspaces, connect datasets, invite members to collaborate, and oversee access to sensitive data.
- Workspace members (invited by workspace admins) connect datasets, define access policies, and collaborate on encrypted datasets.
Before you begin
Sign in using your organization’s SSO credentials, then sign out once to complete your account setup and ensure full access to the platform.
Designated organization admins
When you first sign in, you will not yet have admin privileges. Opaque will grant you organization admin rights within one business day, enabling you to manage your users and organization.
