Personal Group

When you sign up for Qaack you will be assigned a personal group. You can select it on the sidebar.

Creating a Group

You can create additional groups to share repositories and variables with your team.

You can add members directly while creating the group: type a member's email and press Add — the email is validated against existing users right away, so you'll know immediately if it doesn't match anyone. You can also paste a comma or space-separated list of emails to validate and add them all at once. Use the admin toggle on the input to add a member as an Admin instead of a plain Member. You (the creator) are always added automatically as the group's Owner.

Member Permissions

Every group member has one of three permission levels:

Role Add repos Remove members Delete repos Manage permissions
Owner
Admin ✓ (non-owners only)
Member
  • The user who creates a group is its Owner.
  • Owners can promote or demote any member, including other admins. Only an owner can change another owner's role.
  • Admins can promote members to admin and demote other admins, but cannot change an owner's role.
  • Members can view the group, its repositories, and environments, but cannot make changes.

Group Settings

You can add group members and manage the group variables.

Adding Members

The "Add member" screen lets you stage several members (typed one by one, or pasted as a comma or space-separated list) before sending the invites. For each member you can choose their role:

  • Leave admin unset (or false) to add them as a plain Member
  • Set admin to true to add them as an Admin

If a staged member can't be invited (for example, they're already in the group), they stay in the list with the reason shown, so you can remove them or retry — the rest are invited normally.

Updating Permissions

You can promote or demote any member via the members settings panel. Owners cannot be demoted by admins — only another owner can change an owner's role.

Group Repositories

You can see the repos of the group and add new ones. Adding and deleting repositories requires Admin or Owner access.
