Getting started

What is SlateBeaver?

SlateBeaver is a platform with two connected products: Aegis (credential and access management) and Aero (project and operations management). Both products operate under a single organisation with shared team membership, shared audit history, and a shared billing account.

The key design principle is that access to credentials is separate from membership of a project. Joining a project in Aero does not automatically grant access to any credential in Aegis. Access must be explicitly granted, and every grant is recorded.

What you can do with Aegis

• Store and manage credentials - API keys, database URLs, tokens, service passwords
• Assign explicit access per credential, not per project
• Track every access event in an immutable audit log
• Detect drift when a local .env file diverges from the stored value
• Grant time-bounded access for temporary work or emergency situations

What you can do with Aero

• Manage engineering projects as kanban boards or sprint lists
• Assign tickets, track progress, and log time
• View burndown charts, velocity, and cycle time reports
• Link tickets to Aegis credential reveals for audit context
