User and access management

There are several types of users in the Aiven Platform:

• Super admin: Users with full access to the organization and are not subject to controls like authentication policies. Limit the number of these users in an organization for increased security.
• Organization admin with full access to an organization's users and resources.
• Organization members: All users in an organization.
• Managed users: Users that have more restrictions and are centrally managed. With a verified domain organization users automatically become managed users.
• Application users: Non-human users intended for programmatic access to the platform.

All users can be added to groups to help streamline the process of granting access to organization resources. You grant them access to resources with roles and permissions.
