Authentication

User authentication will rely on GitHub which means a user must perform a social login using their GitHub account to use the provisioning system. There will be two authentication levels for users:

  • Anonymous

  • GitHub User

Authorization

There are four levels of authorization that will determine which functions a user is allowed to perform:

  • Anonymous

  • Member (of an organization)

  • Owner (of an organization)
