Release date: December 23, 2022
Do your day-to-day activities involve painstaking manual tasks to manage multiple seat-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) products? Take a break with the Tenants feature in Cerby.
We’ve just released this feature to simplify user and access management. We define tenants as applications where customers pay for the number of seats or licenses instead of sessions that could be used by one or multiple users simultaneously.
In seat-based apps, users belong to collaboration spaces (such as workspaces, teams, and dashboards) with different roles and permissions, and admins manage their access. For example, Apple, Asana, Atlassian, Calendly, or GitHub.
By adding a tenant and connecting it to Cerby, you can centrally and securely manage all your colleagues from Cerby. That way, you only interact with one user interface for multiple apps, and you can match users to your corporate directory.
The following are the key benefits of Tenants:
Provision and deprovision users automatically in your apps.
Identify who uses your apps and their role, and match them to their profile in your corporate directory.
Manage users, roles, and account access from one interface.
Invite your colleagues to Cerby and secure their access to your app by complying with security best practices, such as two-factor authentication (2FA) and password rotation.
Check out the tenants you can add to Cerby, as shown in Figure 1.
