User
AUser
represents anyone who can access and perform operations in Bytebase. Users include both human team members and service accounts.
Service Account
Service accounts are special users designed for automated processes and applications.User Group
AUser Group
organizes multiple users together for easier permission management. Workspace admins create groups and add users, then assign these groups to roles within projects.
- Bytebase does not support nested groups. A group can only contain users, it can’t contain another group.
- Service accounts cannot be part of user groups. Since service accounts are for automated processes with specific access needs, including them in groups could grant unintended permissions. This is considered an anti-pattern.
