Quick Start

Most use cases need just one of two things: connecting an application to a database, or giving a team member access to your organisation. Both take under a minute to set up.

Connect an application

Create a programmatic identity, then create an access key credential for it to execute commands against your database.

  1. Go to Programmatic Identities in the sidebar and create a new identity.
  2. Click the policy icon next to the new identity.
  3. Attach this policy, replacing kvdb_1234567890 with your database ID:
loading...

That's it. Your application can now connect using the access key credential attached to that programmatic identity.

Use kvdb/* as the resource to grant access to all databases in your organisation, including ones created in the future.

Add a team member

Add a user to your organisation and they immediately get read-only access with no additional policy setup needed.

  1. Go to Organisation → Members in the sidebar.
  2. Add the user by their user ID. They can find this in their account settings.

They can now view your databases, access keys, and organisation settings. To give them more (or less) access, click the policy icon next to their name and adjust from there. See Organisation Members for common examples.
