Account Setup

Datum Cloud Onboarding - How to create a user account, set up an organization, manage and collaborate with team members

The first step is to create a user account at https://cloud.datum.net.

• You will be asked to use a Google or a GitHub account for authentication.
• Your account will be associated with the primary email on your social account.
• We do not accept email and password registrations at this time.

Once you’ve created a user account, you can personalize your experience and access details by clicking on your avatar or initials at the top right of your screen.

Orgs & projects

We use a standard cloud data model that associates Projects within Organizations. There are two types of Orgs:

• Personal Org - An entity created for each user that does not support collaboration and cannot be renamed. Consider this your personal sandbox.
• Standard Org - An entity that supports collaboration on projects, shared resources, and centralized management.

Team management

To collaborate with team members, you’ll need to create or join a Standard Organization. Standard Organizations support the following coarse-grained roles:

• Owners - Full control over the organization and all resources.
• Editors - Control over all resources in an organization, except for team members.
• Viewers - Read-only access to all resources in an organization.

Quotas

Datum is in active development and currently only offers a free tier with reasonable limits on resources. Resource limits (e.g. quotas) can be found under the setting areas for Organizations and Projects.

Support

If you run into issues (including quotas that constrain your work, but also other things), simply drop a note to [e-mail] or the live chat widget accessible at the top of the portal. Discord is also an option!
