Organization
An Organization is the top-level entity in Entropy Data that represents a company or business unit. It serves as a container for all other entities and provides the foundation for managing data mesh resources, teams, and access control.
An organization is a logical tenant, which can also be used to model different environments (e.g. production, staging, development).
Setting Up Your Organization
When setting up an Organization, you're creating the foundation for your data platform, including the following:
- Setting the organization name
- Configuring the organization's URL (vanity URL)
- Configuring the organization's logo
Organization Members
You can add members to your organization manually or automatically using SCIM.
Adding members manually is straightforward, by inviting them via email.
To add members automatically, you can set up SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) to synchronize users from your identity provider (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID) to Entropy Data.
Organization members can have a special role called "Organization Owner".
Organization Owners have the highest level of access and can manage all aspects of the organization, including creating teams, editing all resources, and configuring settings.
More information about organization roles can be found in the Roles section.
Roles and Permissions
Roles determine what members can do within the organization. At the organization level, permissions range from the full access of an Organization Owner to more limited roles scoped to specific teams and resources.
Access control is set up and administered by platform engineers:
- Single Sign-On — authenticate members against your identity provider.
- SCIM — provision and deprovision users automatically.
- API keys — grant programmatic access.
- Roles — the full breakdown of roles and their permissions.
Feature Configuration
Organization-level features are configured by platform engineers. This includes enabling AI features and setting up integrations with external systems.
