Roles and RACI Checklist

Map labeling, training, model export, secret keys, and billing to Datature Vi permissions using a lightweight RACI-style template.

This page is an optional template. Datature Vi enforces access through organization roles and project roles. It does not run a separate in-product approval workflow for “model release.” Many teams still write down who signs off on labels, who may export weights to production, who owns API keys, and who pays the invoice. Use the tables below as a starting point, then adjust names and RACI letters to match your company.

RACI quick read: Responsible does the work. Accountable approves outcomes (one role per decision). Consulted gives input. Informed gets updates.

Labeling and dataset QA

Who uploads images, edits annotations, and who gives final sign-off is a process choice on top of Vi permissions. Dataset Editors change labels; Viewers read only; Owners control the dataset end to end. See Team settings and Add members.

Dataset labeling (template)

RACI
Typical owner in Vi
Notes
R: perform labeling
Members with dataset Editor (or Owner)
Scope datasets so annotators only see what they need
A: accept label quality
Dataset Owner or your QA lead (org policy)
Datature Vi does not add a second sign-off button; record the approver in your SOP
C: domain expertise
Named SMEs (any role with Viewer+ on that dataset)
Often clinical, safety, or product specialists
I: visibility
PM, compliance, or leads with Viewer access
Read-only access avoids accidental edits

Training runs and configuration

Training project Owners control workflows, settings, deployments, and deleting the project. Editors create workflows and start runs. Viewers see metrics only. See Team settings.

Training (template)

RACI
Typical owner in Vi
Notes
R: configure workflows and launch runs
Training Editor or Owner
Editors cannot delete the project
A: accept training setup and spend
Training Owner or ML lead (org policy)
Compute usage ties to your plan; see Resource usage
C: data and eval input
Dataset Owners, eval owners
Connect dataset work and evaluation expectations early
I: stakeholders
Members with training Viewer
Works for executive read-only without write risk

Model export and production use

Anyone with permission to export can download weights. That usually means people with access to the training project and export flow (see Download a model). Production readiness (security review, latency targets, rollback) remains your Accountable role outside the product. Deployment options are described in How do I deploy my trained model? and Manage models.

Model weights and deployment (template)

RACI
Typical owner in Vi
Notes
R: run export and wire inference
ML engineer with training access + secret key for SDK
Follow Secret keys hygiene
A: approve production cutover
Engineering or product lead (org policy)
Not a separate Datature Vi gate: document who signs off
C: platform / security
Infra or AppSec (offline)
Especially before sharing weights outside your org
I: dependent teams
PM, support, GTM
Tell them when a model version changes

Secret keys and billing

Only Owner or Admin can create a secret key. Only Owner changes billing and plan. Admins manage members and resources but not invoices.

Keys and billing (template)

RACI
Typical owner in Vi
Notes
R: create, rotate, and store keys
Owner or Admin creates keys; DevOps stores them in a secrets manager
Rotate on compromise immediately; see Secret keys
A: key and spend policy
Owner for billing; security lead for key standards (offline)
Split A if your company separates finance and security
C: auditors, IT
Offline reviewers
Enterprise may add SSO; see Security and compliance
I: project teams
Members who consume APIs
They need names of key rotation windows, not the secret values

Next steps

Team Settings

Configure Owner, Admin, Member, dataset roles, and training project roles.

Secret Keys

Create, scope, rotate, and revoke API credentials.

Download a Model

Export trained weights and configuration for inference or backup.

Plans and Pricing

Understand plans, limits, and what the organization Owner controls.
