About Environments

Prev Next

Within each Tenant, there can be one or more Environments. Environments can be used for a variety of reasons. For example, there might be a Planning Environment, a Development Environment, and finally a Production Environment.

Environment Dashboard

Upon login, users are directed to the Environment Dashboard, which provides a centralized, high-level view of Environment activity, configuration, and operational health. This dashboard is designed to help you quickly assess the current state of your Environment and identify areas that may require attention.

The dashboard includes the following components:

  • Policies Counter: Total number of Policies defined in the Environment.
  • Restrictive Policies Counter: Number of Policies marked as restrictive.
  • Inactive Policies Counter: Number of currently inactive Policies.
  • Applications Counter: Total number of Applications configured in the Environment.
  • Policy Distribution Across Applications: A visual breakdown of how Policies are assigned across Applications.
  • Latest Platform Activity: A summary of recent activity from the past 7 days, with filtering options to trace specific operations.
  • POP Synchronization: Counters displaying the number of POPs in the Environment, segmented by synced and unsynced states.

The dashboard is fully customizable. You can rearrange widgets by dragging and dropping them using the move icon, and resize them by adjusting the splitters between widgets. This flexibility allows you to tailor the dashboard layout to match your operational priorities.

Overall, the Environment Dashboard serves as a centralized monitoring and management surface, enabling efficient oversight of authorization assets and system activity within the Environment.

Tenants and Workspaces

Each Tenant contains Workspaces in which you can create the WHO (Identities) and the WHAT (which Assets and Rulesets) are allowed to do WHAT (Actions in Applications) as well as any environmental Conditions needed.

Using the Environment level in the Authorization Platform, you can also manage different use cases for authorization at the same time.

Within the Environment, you will find the following Workspaces:

Having more than one Workspace (either Identity or Authorization) enables the Platform to offer more granular separation of duties. In this way, organizations can create:

  • Multiple Authorization Workspaces within a single Environment to manage large numbers of Applications and Policies.
  • Multiple Identity Workspaces within a single Environment to apply access Policies to different types of Identities (for example, internal employees, external users) that are managed in different Identity Sources.

The ability to create multiple Workspaces provides more granular access definitions for different types of users and/or Applications managed in each Workspace.

The Workspaces are displayed in the Environment side-panel.

Under the name of the Environment in the Environment side-panel, there is a set of Environment-related configurations
