Concepts

Userbox is built around a five-level hierarchy. Spending a few minutes here before writing your first integration will save hours of confusion later.

In this section

• Userbox model — The Account → Environments → Workspaces → Memberships → Permissions hierarchy. Start here.
• Environments — Data isolation, API key scoping, and the development/staging/production model.
• Workspaces — Access contexts within a tenant and how to choose the right workspace pattern for your app.
• Platform permissions — Built-in permissions controlling access to the Userbox console itself.
• App permissions — Custom permissions you define and check from your application backend.
