Account Types

AIchor recognises two broad types of account: users and administrators.

Users​

A user is a member of one or more projects within an organisation. Users trigger and monitor experiments, manage experiment variables, and access project storage.

Users are not created through a sign-up form. A user account comes into existence when an administrator invites that person to a project (see Projects & Access). The invitee receives an email, sets up their account, and logs in.

For the full list of what a user can do, see Roles & Permissions.

Administrators​

An administrator manages the organisation's resources and people rather than running experiments. "Administrator" is not a single role. AIchor offers several admin roles that can be combined:

  • Organization Admin — full control over the organisation.
  • Infrastructure — manage compute engines and cloud providers as well as pvc creation on kubernetes engines.
  • FinOps — review usage and cost across the organisation.
  • Project Administrator — full control over a single project

The first administrator of an organisation is provisioned by the AIchor (InstaDeep) team when the organisation is set up. After that, existing organisation admins can grant admin access to others from the Admins page — see Managing Admins.

For the full list of what each admin role can do, see Roles & Permissions.

Account Creation​

Accounts are not created through a sign-up form. An invitation is sent via email to complete account creation on the AIchor Platform.

After accepting the invitation, the invitee is redirected to the login page to set a password. The username is the email address used for the invitation.
