1 Overview

A central design point of Veloopti security is that no user has permission to perform any operation unless they have been specifically granted it. The purpose of granting a permission is to enable a user to perform a specific action. Permissions either extend globally to the whole of Veloopti, or locally to a single application. Each application has total control of its own permissions and they do not interfere with another application.

2 Design considerations

A central design point of Veloopti permissions is to empower the owner of an application to have everything they need to monitor their application. They should be able to write and deploy any monitoring for their application without being interfered by another application.


3 Roles and permissions

Permissions are bundled together and can appear in one or more roles.


Global permissions and application permissions Global permissions reach to the entire Veloopti organisation and can extend into every application. Application permissions exist only in the application.

After creating an organistion the user is given both the roles of Owner and Billing Administrator. The role of Owner has permanent permissions that cannot be modified. The role of Owner cannot be renamed or deleted. The Owner is able to select another user to replace them and replace them as the Owner. The selected user is then able to accept or reject the role of Owner.

Once the role of Owner is given and received to another user it cannot be changed except by the current Owner. If the use account that has the role of owner is somehow lost then contact Veloopti. The Owner always has access to the below permissions.
