Access
Access Overview
Control who can use your tools with public and member access groups.
Access management is one of Pickaxe's core features. It lets you control who can use your tools, segment your users into different groups, and monetize your agents by selling different access tiers.
Access is organized into two types:
- Public access groups — Open access for anyone, no login required.
- Member access groups — Restricted access that requires users to sign up or be invited.
Each type is covered in detail on its own page.
Connecting access groups to portals
Each portal has one primary access group. Its type determines which additional access groups the portal can use:
| Primary access group | Allowed additional access groups |
|---|---|
| Guest (public) | Member or invite-only |
| Member | Member or invite-only |
| Invite-only | Invite-only only |
Guest and member access groups can each be connected to only one portal. Invite-only access groups can be connected to multiple portals.
