Control user access to Timescale Cloud projects

When you sign up for a 30-day free trial, Timescale Cloud creates a project for you, and you are assigned the Owner role for the project. As the project owner, you have rights to add and delete other users, and edit project settings. Users that you add to the project are assigned the Member role. Members have rights to collaborate with you on your project, and help create and administer the services running in the project.

If you have the Enterprise pricing plan, you can use your company SAML identity provider to log in to Timescale Console.

Add a user to your project
