PCT Account

A PCT Account uniquely identifies the user. The following types of accounts are available:

When you sign up for PCT, an organization with your name is automatically created. You can use this default organization to get started, or you can be added to an existing organization (for example, your company).

Users within an organization are assigned various roles, based on the required level of access:

Owner:The user that created the organization. Has full access to all settings, can add and remove other users, etc.
Admin:User with the same level of access as the owner.
Member:Can add and remove dashboards and charts, review queries, configure settings. Cannot add or remove users, or change user roles.
Guest:Can view everything, but cannot change anything.

Every organization has a unique API key, which is used to authenticate and authorize Percona Agent. All members of the organization can view the data collected by the agent authenticated using the corresponding API key. No one outside of your organization can view this data.
