Concepts

• Role-based access control (RBAC) is an authorization system that defines permissions based on roles. MK.IO role-based access control helps you manage who has access to MK.IO resources, what they can do with those resources, and what areas they have access to.
• Organization: a company/group that uses MK.IO.
• Project: linked to organization and linked to a cloud subscription for billing. Projects hold resources such as assets, live events and transforms.
• User: physical human. A user may have access to multiple organizations.
• Team: a group of users within an organization. A team is granted permissions on projects and resources.

MK.IO comes with an integrated role-based system designed to be straightforward, allowing for a seamless onboarding of new collaborators. The first user in the organization is automatically granted Organization Admin access permissions. The Organization Admin has full control over the system, including the ability to invite users and create an Administrators team that will be able to manage various teams (see table below for permissions).

Manage teams

Being part of an organization means that you're a member of one or more teams. Project access is granted to users through Teams.

By default, every organization has 2 predefined teams: Administrators and Everyone. However, you can create new ones if you have more advanced needs.

• The Administrators team can only be edited by the Organization admin. Members of the Administrators team have full access and administrative rights to all projects. They may also have some organization-level permissions, such as the ability to view billing information, if permitted (see table below).
• The Everyone team can be edited by the Organization admin and the members of the Administrators team. This team automatically includes all users of the organization. By default, the Everyone team has access to all projects, with a permission level set by Administrators: either User or Reader. Optionally, the Everyone team can be configured to have no access to all projects.
