Apps and collaborators

An app is the top-level unit you release updates to. You create one with aether app add MyApp, which also creates its Staging and Production deployments.

Ownership

Section titled “Ownership”

Every app has exactly one owner: the account that created it. You can hand an app to another account with:

Terminal window
aether app transfer MyApp teammate@example.com

The new owner must already have an Aether account with that email.

Collaborators

Section titled “Collaborators”

The owner can invite other accounts to work on the app:

Terminal window
aether collaborator add MyApp teammate@example.com
aether collaborator ls MyApp
aether collaborator rm MyApp teammate@example.com

Collaborators can release updates, patch release metadata, promote, roll back, and read deployments, keys, history, and metrics. These operations stay with the owner:

  • Delete, rename, or transfer the app.
  • Add or remove collaborators. The one exception: a collaborator can remove themselves.
  • Create, delete, or rename deployments.
  • Clear a deployment’s release history.

Your plan limits how many collaborators an app can have. See Plans, quotas, and MAD.
