Users and permissions

Adding people, choosing which projects each of them sees, and deciding what they may do on each one.

Signing in#

People sign in with their Microsoft Entra work account. There are no separate passwords in Eido Build.

Being in your Entra tenant is not enough on its own. A person also needs a user in Eido Build with the same email address. Somebody without one who tries to sign in sees a message saying they have no account here.

Add a user#

  1. Go to Admin → Users.
  2. Add the person with the email address they sign in to Microsoft with.
  3. Choose their projects, and what they may do on each.
  4. Put them in their teams.

Projects#

Give each person the projects they work on, or All projects, which also covers projects added later.

A person sees nothing of a project they have not been given: not its work items, not its customers’ requests, and not in search or in Odie’s answers.

What somebody may do on a project#

On each project, three tick boxes add to what a member can already do.

PermissionAllows
(member)Raise work, take part in stages, comment and follow, read releases and agents’ reports, ask Odie.
TriageApprove and reject what is waiting in Triage.
Project adminAct on and approve any stage, skip a stage, start work, change a workflow, a model or a budget, and run releases. It does not give the Admin screens.
See costingsSee what stages, agents and conversations cost on that project.

Admins#

An admin has the Admin screens, and is a project admin on every project they can see.

Admin is one page of tiles, grouped by what the settings are about.

Seeing costs is still a separate grant, even for an admin. Tick See costings on the projects where they should see them.

Teams#

A person’s teams decide which stages they take part in and which they can approve, and which work they are offered as an owner. See Teams.

Your licence counts users#

Your Eido Build licence is based on the number of users. The current count and what you are licensed for are at the top of Admin. See Licensing.
