Give every teammate and agent the right level of access to your Workers
TL;DR
Cloudflare's Developer Platform now allows precise access control for teammates and agents, enabling safer application development. Four new roles help limit permissions effectively.
✦ Why It Matters
Implement role-based access controls today to enhance security and prevent unauthorized changes in your applications.
Key Takeaways
- Assign specific roles to teammates for better security.
- Use scoped access to limit visibility to individual Workers.
- Implement the Editor role for CI/CD workflows to prevent deletions.
- Utilize clearer error messages to understand permission needs.
How It Works
Cloudflare's new access control system allows users to be assigned one of four roles, each with defined permissions. This ensures that users can perform necessary tasks without exposing sensitive information or allowing destructive actions.
For example, the Metadata Read-Only role enables users to access observability data without seeing the underlying code, while the Admin role grants full control over a Worker.
