Overview
GPCN™ gives you control over who in your organization can access the portal and what they can do. Access is managed through three building blocks: resource groups, users, and roles. Together, they let you organize your team, assign resources, and make sure each person has exactly the access they need.
Key Concepts
Resource Groups
Resource groups are how you organize users and resources (VMs, storage volumes, networks) into logical collections. You might create a resource group for each team, project, or environment in your organization.
Users in a resource group can access the resources assigned to that group, based on their role.
Users
Users are the people who have access to your GPCN™ organization. Each user has an email address, one or more roles that define what they can do, and membership in one or more resource groups that defines which resources they can access.
New users are added by invitation — an administrator sends an invite to their email address, and the user follows the link in the email to set their password and activate their account.
Users have an invite status of Activated, Pending (invite sent but not yet accepted), or Expired (invite link has lapsed and needs to be resent).
Roles
Roles define what actions a user can perform in the portal. When you assign a role to a user, you're granting them the set of capabilities that role includes.
Common roles include:
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Tenant Administrator | Full access to all resources, infrastructure, and user management |
| Tenant Power User | Full control over infrastructure (VMs, networks, storage) and resource groups — read-only access to administrative settings |
| Tenant User | Read-only access to resources; can manage their own profile and API keys |
See Roles & Permissions for the full role hierarchy and permissions detail.
Your Organization
All users, resource groups, and resources in GPCN™ belong to your organization. This is the top-level boundary for your team's data and access.
