Although teammates can access your Astra DB database, it will not display in their list of available databases under My Databases in the Astra DB console.
After you create an Astra DB database, you can grant access to other members of your team by providing them with the database credentials and connection details for your database.
Be careful when sharing connection details.Providing this information to another user grants them access to your Astra DB database and ownership capabilities, such as making modifications to the database.
For security, delete downloaded connection credentials after sending them to your teammate.
