What is Account and Project Management?

Learn how to manage user accounts, add new users, provide secure access within your organization, and streamline project management on BrowserStack.

Account and Project Management enables users to create accounts and control who can access various products within your organization on BrowserStack. You can also create projects to structure your testing workflow, manage resources efficiently, and track progress across different teams and BrowserStack products.

The user who purchases the subscription is the owner of the account. When an owner creates a BrowserStack account, an Organization is automatically created. It includes an Owner, User members, and Teams. An organization can have multiple users accessing various BrowserStack products. You can manage these users in a unified structure. The owner has complete access to the organization. They can manage account details, add new members, assign roles, and create teams within the organization.

To further refine access controls, BrowserStack follows Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
