Every feature carries a maintenance bill that comes due long after the launch post. The useful discipline is deciding, up front, who is going to pay it.
This piece walks through how we think about it at Paycux, what we have changed our minds about, and where the sharp edges are.
Prerequisites
That brings us to prerequisites. Ship the smallest version that is honest about its limits. A feature that does one thing completely beats one that does five things with an asterisk on each.
Defaults are the product. Most people will never open the settings screen, which means the behaviour you chose for them is the behaviour they will experience forever.
Part 1: Setting up Paycux RBAC
Part 1: Setting up Paycux RBAC is where this gets concrete. Defaults are the product. Most people will never open the settings screen, which means the behaviour you chose for them is the behaviour they will experience forever.
Naming is design work. If the team argues about what to call something, the disagreement is usually about what it is, and shipping before that is settled means shipping the confusion to customers.
- Choose defaults as carefully as features
- Settle the name before you ship the thing
- Ship the smallest honest version
- Say plainly what the feature does not do
1 Install the Paycux CLI
Consider 1 install the paycux cli. Naming is design work. If the team argues about what to call something, the disagreement is usually about what it is, and shipping before that is settled means shipping the confusion to customers.

2 Define permissions is where this gets concrete. Naming is design work. If the team argues about what to call something, the disagreement is usually about what it is, and shipping before that is settled means shipping the confusion to customers.

4 Declarative provisioning with seed
That brings us to 4 declarative provisioning with seed. Naming is design work. If the team argues about what to call something, the disagreement is usually about what it is, and shipping before that is settled means shipping the confusion to customers.

5 Understand org-scoped roles
That brings us to 5 understand org-scoped roles. Defaults are the product. Most people will never open the settings screen, which means the behaviour you chose for them is the behaviour they will experience forever.

Where this leaves us
If there is one thing worth taking away, it is that the expensive decisions are the ones made implicitly. Making them on purpose costs an afternoon.
If you are working through the same problem and want to compare notes, the docs cover the mechanics and the console shows the behaviour on your own data.
Everything here, already built
Sign-in, enterprise SSO, directory provisioning, roles and an audit trail behind one API. Start with the quickstart and have a working sign-in this afternoon.
