Resource Hierarchy

Resources in Aptos Build are organized in a hierarchical structure:

Organization
└── Projects
    └── Resources (APIs, Indexers, etc.)

Resource Organization

Resources are managed within projects, which are owned by organizations. This structure provides:

• Clear resource ownership and boundaries
• Isolated environments for different applications
• Shared infrastructure and access controls
• Centralized billing and usage management

Resource Access Control

Access to resources is controlled through organization roles:

• Owners: Have full control over all resources, including:

  • Creating and managing projects
  • Setting resource usage limits
  • Managing resource access
  • Configuring billing settings

• Admins: Can manage project resources, including:

  • Creating and configuring resources
  • Managing resource settings
  • Monitoring resource usage
  • Cannot modify billing or organization settings

• Members: Can use resources, including:

  • Accessing assigned resources
  • Viewing resource status
  • Using resource features
  • Cannot modify resource settings
