Members are users who have signed up for your Organization. You assign each member one or more roles that grant privileges. A role can also carry access scopes that determine which logs the member can see.

​
Roles

Roles have default privileges. Mezmo supports four roles:
  • Owner (owner) - Each Mezmo Organization has one owner. The owner can’t be restricted, has the most access, and manages both admins and members.
  • Admin (admin) - An Organization can have more than one admin. Admins have the second-highest level of access, can view all logs, and can’t have their access restricted.
  • Basic (basic) - Standard members of your Organization (previously called “Member”). Their log access is governed by the access scopes on the roles they hold.
  • Read-only (readonly) - Read-only members can view logs, run searches, view screens, and export lines. They have no permission to make changes.
A member can hold multiple roles. Review the Feature Access Matrix for a breakdown of each role’s privileges.

​
Access Scopes

Access scopes are Log Analysis query strings attached to a role that limit which logs a member holding that role can see. A role can carry up to 10 access-scope queries. A role with no access scopes grants access to everything. For example, you can add an access-scope query that matches only logs from Node.js applications and attach it to a role. Members who hold that role see only Node.js logs. You manage roles and their access scopes at Settings > Organization > Roles. You can manage access scopes from the Role form and the Roles list:
  • In the Role form, Permissions and Access Scopes appear on separate tabs.
  • A role must grant at least one permission or at least one access scope.
  • In the Roles list, an Access Scopes badge marks any role that has access scopes.
  • Use the Preview link to test a query against live tail (the real-time streaming view of incoming logs) before you save.
To learn more about query syntax, see search log contents.
