Teams
Cluster team
You can invite another user to access your cluster and deploy apps in it.
It is not mandatory for this user to have an account in ShapeBlock yet.
By default, only you will be able to access your cluster and deploy apps in it. Only when you invite new users, they will be able to operate on the cluster.
You will be presented with an invite form.
email
The email of the user you have to send an invite to. They will get an invite link in that email address.
Joe will get an email to accept the invite.
After they accept the invite by signing up, they will show up under the “Members” section of the “Team” tab.
Joe will be able to see the cluster in the cluster list page like any other member of the cluster.
But they won’t see the “Teams” tab and the cluster node details, nor the cluster node add form in the cluster details page.
If you need more fine-grained permissions and access, you should go for project based teams instead.
None of the users you invite will be billed for anything. Only you will be billed for the VMs you provision via ShapeBlock.
Invitations are on a per-cluster basis. You need to invite a user to every individual cluster you need them to access.
How to invite
