In this post, we’ll take you through the available options for managing sub-accounts, from managing permissions in app, to our new functionality which allows you to assign individual API keys to your users. First let’s take a look at our new API Key Management feature with support for multiple API Keys.
API Key Management
It’s now possible to add multiple API keys to an account, this means that for teams the same key will no longer need to be shared, and each member of staff/department can be assigned their own access token.
As well as being an improvement security wise, you can monitor the usage for each key in the API Key’s section of the user menu, to do this – and to add new keys for your team simply click here.
Sub-User Management
On our Business level plan it’s possible to add Sub-Users who have access to the in-app data, this allows them to view the information in a much more visual fashion when compared to the API. Sub-Users will be able to view the full settings and details of the tests on the “Main Account” depending on the permissions that they are assigned.
You can assign a few different parameters to your Sub-Users, first off you should decide whether they will have “view-only” or “full-edit” rights which will affect how they can interact with the test data from the main account.
Another handy option that can be set is tag based access, this means that you can assign a Sub-User to one or more test tags, and when they log in it’s only the tests under these tags that they will be able to see and interact with.

Alert Noise Isn’t an Accident — It’s a Design Decision
3 min read In a previous post, The Incident Checklist: Reducing Cognitive Load When It Matters Most, we explored how incidents stop being purely technical problems and become human ones. These are moments where decision-making under pressure and cognitive load matter more than perfect root cause analysis. When systems don’t support people clearly in those moments, teams compensate.

The Incident Checklist: Reducing Cognitive Load When It Matters Most
4 min read In the previous post, we looked at what happens after detection; when incidents stop being purely technical problems and become human ones, with cognitive load as the real constraint. This post assumes that context. The question here is simpler and more practical. What actually helps teams think clearly and act well once things are already

When Things Go Wrong, Systems Should Help Humans — Not Fight Them
3 min read In the previous post, we explored how AI accelerates delivery and compresses the time between change and user impact. As velocity increases, knowing that something has gone wrong before users do becomes a critical capability. But detection is only the beginning. Once alerts fire and dashboards light up, humans still have to interpret what’s happening,

When AI Speeds Up Change, Knowing First Becomes the Constraint
5 min read In a recent post, I argued that AI doesn’t fix weak engineering processes; rather it amplifies them. Strong review practices, clear ownership, and solid fundamentals still matter just as much when code is AI-assisted as when it’s not. That post sparked a follow-up question in the comments that’s worth sitting with: With AI speeding things

Make Your Engineering Processes Resilient. Not Your Opinions About AI
4 min read Why strong reviews, accountability, and monitoring matter more in an AI-assisted world Artificial intelligence has become the latest fault line in software development. For some teams, it’s an obvious productivity multiplier. For others, it’s viewed with suspicion. A source of low-quality code, unreviewable pull requests, and latent production risk. One concern we hear frequently goes
