Members Menu
Your team management hub. Invite developers, control notifications, and monitor security settings for your organization.
The Members section only appears for organization accounts. Personal accounts don't have this option. New to organizations? Check out the Organizations guide to learn how team collaboration works on Galaxy.
Viewing Your Team
When you open the Members section, you see a table of everyone in your organization. Each row shows one team member with key information.
The table displays:
- Username: Their Galaxy login name (how you'll find them when adding)
- Email Notifications: Toggle for organization activity emails (deployment alerts, database changes, billing updates)
- 2FA Status: Whether they have 2FA enabled and which method they're using (Authenticator App or Email)
You can't enable 2FA for someone else, but you can check to make sure they've set it up.
Make sure all team members have 2FA enabled. Essential for protecting your organization's data and applications.
Adding Team Members
Want to bring someone new onto your team? They need their own Galaxy account first.
Have Them Create an Account
They must create their own account. Can't do it from the Members section.
Send them to https://beta.galaxycloud.app/signup to sign up, create a password, and complete setup.
Get Their Username
Ask them to share their Galaxy username so you can find them when adding.
Invite Them
Click "Add New Member" in the top right of the Members section. Enter their username and click "Add Member".
They'll receive an invitation. Once they accept, they appear in your Members list with full access.
What Access Do They Get?
New members get full access to almost everything:
- View all apps and databases
- Deploy new applications
- Create, delete, and scale databases
- Access organization settings
About billing access: Whether members can see billing information depends on your organization settings. The organization owner can restrict billing access in the Settings Menu. If set to "Only Organization Owner," members won't see payment methods or invoices.
Galaxy doesn't have role-based access control yet. All members have the same level of access (except for billing, which can be restricted). Learn more about access levels in the Organizations guide.
Managing Member Settings
Once someone is part of your organization, you can control a few key settings.
Email Notifications
Each member has a toggle for email notifications.
- Notifications on: They get emails about events, alerts, deployments, and changes
- Notifications off: Full access to everything, but no email notifications (useful if they prefer checking the dashboard manually)
Toggle the checkbox in the "Email Notifications" column. Takes effect immediately.
Team member drowning in notifications? Don't remove them. Just toggle off their email notifications. They can still access everything.
2FA Status
Look at the 2FA column to see each member's status:
- 2FA Enabled (App): Using an authenticator app (best option)
- 2FA Enabled (Email): Using email-based 2FA (still good, less secure)
- 2FA Disabled: No 2FA set up (security risk)
You can't enable 2FA for someone else. Encourage team members without it to set it up. Point them to the Security Menu guide.
Team member without 2FA? Their account is at greater risk. Encourage them to set it up immediately, especially since they have access to production systems.
Removing Members
Sometimes you need to remove someone. Maybe they left the company, or you need to reduce access.
Find the member in the table and click "Remove" on their row. Confirm, and they're instantly removed with all access lost.
What happens when you remove someone:
- Can't access the organization anymore
- Can't see apps and databases
- Can't deploy applications or make changes
- Ongoing deployments they started keep running, but they can't manage them
- Their personal Galaxy account stays active (they just lose access to your organization)
Removing someone is instant and irreversible. Made a mistake? You'll need to add them back manually.
Removing a member is permanent. They lose all access immediately. Be certain before you confirm.
Pro Tips
Require 2FA from day one. When inviting new team members, ask them to enable 2FA before accessing production systems. Make it standard practice.
Monitor 2FA status regularly. Check the Members page occasionally to confirm all team members still have 2FA enabled. Quick security audit.
Use notification toggles wisely. Some want all alerts, others prefer checking manually. Respect preferences.
Document your team structure. If your organization grows, track who has access. Helps when people leave.
Offboard properly. When someone leaves, remove them immediately. Don't leave old members with access to sensitive resources.
