With Treblle 3.0, managing API access is easier than ever thanks to the new Roles and Permissions feature.
Roles and Permissions in Treblle are designed to provide clarity and control over who can perform specific actions within your Workspace and APIs. By defining roles as Owner or Member, Treblle ensures that users can access their responsibilities appropriately.
In Treblle Workspaces, Roles and Permissions define how team members interact with APIs and configurations.
Treblle ensures teams can collaborate while safeguarding critical API data by categorizing users into these roles.

Go to the left-hand Workspace Settings menu. Click on People to view or manage users in your Workspace.
Workspace Settings menu
If you are a Member, this section displays a list of Workspace members and details about their roles (Owner or Member). As a Member, you cannot invite others or change roles.
People section inside the Workspace settings
If you are an Owner, you will see an Invite Members option. Use this option to invite new members to your Workspace.
Inviting Members to your Workspace
Important Note:
Members who are invited to the Workspace have access only to public APIs. For private APIs, owners must explicitly invite members to participate in those specific APIs.
Inviting Members to specific APIs
Scenario 1: In a development team of, say, 20 people, it’s common to have a mix of roles, such as project leads, backend developers, frontend developers, and QA testers.
Workflow:
Scenario 2: Suppose your organization includes technical teams (developers, DevOps) and non-technical teams (product managers, marketing analysts). Owners can also utilize the API Catalog to share documentation with product managers and analysts while maintaining secure workspace access through MFA.
Workflow:
Scenario 3: Maintaining strict access control is non-negotiable for companies dealing with sensitive data (e.g., healthcare financial services).
Workflow:
Managing APIs isn't just about building and deploying; it’s about ensuring teams work together effectively while keeping everything secure and under control.
The Roles and Permissions feature in Treblle 3.0 provides a structured way to manage teams and APIs. Determining clear roles enhances collaboration while keeping data and configurations secure.
Owners get the control they need to manage workspaces and APIs, while Members focus on what they do best without worrying about permissions or configurations.

Explore TreblleOn June 26, 2025, we hosted a webinar with API security expert Colin Domoney and Treblle’s Vedran Cindrić to unpack what really breaks API security. Here are the key takeaways, including real breach examples, common myths, and a practical security checklist.
Missed the webinar? Here are the top takeaways from “The Future Is Federated,” where Daniel Kocot, Vedran Cindrić, and Harsha Chelle shared practical strategies for scaling API governance in complex, fast-moving environments.
APIs aren’t just connectors, they’re products with real users. To succeed, teams must understand those users deeply. This article explores why consumer insight is the key to building better APIs and how leaders can turn that understanding into action.
