SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manage Harness users, user groups, and service accounts via MCP to enable team-based access control, API automation, and permissions visibility. List and search users, create and manage user groups, and view available permissions. Use when you need to audit access, provision accounts for automation, or compose RBAC configurations. Do NOT use for role assignments or resource groups (use manage-roles instead). Trigger phrases: list users, user group, service account, who has access, team permissions, add user to group, create service account.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • List and search users across the Harness account
  • Create and manage user groups for team-based access control
  • Create service accounts for API automation and programmatic access
  • View and plan permissions available to principals
  • Do not use for direct role assignments; use manage-roles for that

Quick Start

List all users in the account or create a new service account for CI automation.
