DevAutOps governs access with fine-grained, resource-level role-based access control (RBAC): roles grant read-only or complete access per service and resource, and users or groups are assigned roles - so someone can be authorized to run a specific app without being given broad cloud account access.
Self-service automation only works if access is actually governed - otherwise you’ve just moved the risk from “too few people can act” to “too many people can act unsafely.” DevAutOps handles this with fine-grained, resource-level role-based access control.
Fine-grained access, enterprise governance
Roles are defined with read-only or complete access per service and per resource, not just a blanket admin/member split. Users and groups are assigned roles, so someone can be authorized to run a specific operational app without being handed broad cloud access to the underlying account.
A core DevAutOps principle runs through this design: who defines and governs an operation is kept separate from who is authorized to run it. A platform engineer can build and own a Trigger for, say, rotating an access key, while a support engineer is granted only the ability to run it - never to see or modify the underlying credentials or logic.
Why this matters
- ✓Users, roles & groups give you a structure that scales past a handful of admins.
- ✓Resource-level scoping means access can be as narrow as “run this one app” or as broad as an entire service.
- ✓Separation of duties keeps operational authors and operational runners on different, auditable footing.
On the Business and Enterprise plans, this extends further with SSO/SAML and private deployment, so access governance can plug directly into an organization’s existing identity provider and compliance requirements.
Frequently asked questions
How does role-based access control work in DevAutOps?
Roles grant read-only or complete access per service and per resource, and are assigned to individual users or groups, allowing precise control over exactly what each person can see or run.
Can someone run an app without having direct cloud access?
Yes. DevAutOps separates who defines and governs an operation from who is authorized to run it, so a user can be granted permission to execute a Trigger without ever seeing the underlying cloud credentials.
Does DevAutOps support SSO or SAML?
Yes, on the Business and Enterprise plans, DevAutOps supports SSO/SAML and private deployment so access governance integrates with an organization’s existing identity provider.
Does DevAutOps support approval workflows alongside RBAC?
Access itself is governed through roles rather than a separate approval queue: granting someone a role is the approval step, and every execution afterward is logged automatically, so there is no additional sign-off workflow required per run.
Does DevAutOps provide audit logs for every operation, not just access changes?
Yes - every Trigger execution is tracked with live status and usage history, independent of role changes, so you get an audit trail of what actually ran, not just who was granted access.
