Organizational admins

Show/Hide imageClosed

Iris is our centralized administrative portal that enables admins to manage IAM Cloud products and organizations. Organizations in Iris are categorized as Distributors, Partners, or Customers. Each admin is associated with a specific home organization that owns their identity record.

An organization can’t exist without a tenancy. Therefore, when you create an organization, a default tenancy is automatically created which cannot be removed. A tenancy enables us to provide users access to our products.

Each organization is associated with a default tenancy but can also include multiple additional non-default tenancies. Each product can use these non-default tenancies for its own specific purpose, such as providing a different CDM license allowing a separate administration of policies.

Admins can either have access to manage an organization and its tenancies or be designated as the owner of that organization. When an admin is an owner, they can be classified as either an organization owner or a delegated organization owner.

Organization owners are admins who create new organizations or assume ownership of existing ones. A delegated organization owner is an admin who takes ownership of an organization other than their home organization. An admin can be a delegated owner for multiple organizations.

In both cases, an admin should only own organizations within the same hierarchy, meaning the owned organization must be the admin's home organization or a descendant of it within the system. Closed

To create an admin in Iris, select from the app bar and then Admins from the app menu. Our system identifies admins by their names and email addresses to allow them access to organizations. More importantly, each admin within our system is unique. This means that no two admins can have the same email address. Names and email addresses are considered Personally Identifiable Information (PII). If you don’t wish to submit PII, we recommend using generic identifiers for admins.
