Hoop.dev provides a comprehensive access management system that allows administrators to control who can access specific resource roles. This is primarily managed through user groups and resource-role-specific configurations.

​
Managing Users and Groups

​
User Management

From the sidebar, administrators can access the Users section to:
  • View all members in the organization
  • Create new users
  • Manage user statuses
  • Edit user details and group assignments

​
Group Management

Groups are the primary way to organize users and control access:
1

Create Groups

Administrators can create groups that represent teams, roles, or access levels (e.g., engineering, sales, admin)
2

Assign Users

Users can be assigned to one or multiple groups:
  • Click the Edit button next to a user
  • Add or remove groups from the user’s profile
  • Save the changes

​
Controlling Resource Access

Use the Access Control section to manage which user groups can access each resource role.
1

Open Access Control

In the Web App sidebar, under Discover, click Access Control.
2

Pick or create a group

Find the user group you want to manage, or click Create Group to add one.
3

Assign resource roles

Click Configure next to the group and select the resource roles that group can access.
Access Control governs which groups can reach a resource role. To require approval before access — time-based or per-command — set up an Access Request rule instead.

​
Access Modes

Access modes are configured per resource role, in that resource role’s own configuration (when you create or edit it) — not in the Access Control section. They control how users interact with the resource role:

Runbooks

Create templates to automate tasks in your organization

Native Access

Allow access through Command Line Interface

Web and One-offs

Enable access through the developer portal and CLI commands

​
Best Practices

Principle of Least Privilege

Grant users only the access they need for their role

Group Organization

Create groups based on teams and responsibilities

Regular Audits

Periodically review group memberships and access permissions

Access Monitoring

Use session monitoring to track and audit resource role usage
