Vera
- vera.use — chat with Vera, the AI assistant.
- vera.manage — administer Vera governance and settings (admin).
Administrative permissions
These are manage-only and grant control over sensitive areas — grant them only to administrative roles:
- settings.manage — organization settings.
- billing.manage — plan and billing.
- users.manage — invite and manage users, and assign roles.
- roles.manage — create and edit roles and permissions.
- api_keys.manage — manage API keys.
Note: Downloadable agent installers and artifacts are available to every signed-in member regardless of role, so anyone can install an agent when asked to.
