Resources hierarchy

In Evolution Platform, resources are hierarchically organized, and you can set them up to match your own organization. Our IAM system is structured in a hierarchical fashion, allowing organized management of access and permissions from a high level down to specific resources. The hierarchy is as follows.

Description of resources hierarchy.

Tenant

A tenant references a logical space where a customer has contracted services with Evolution Platform. Within this tenant, customer can manage their resources.

Folders

Folders are containers within a tenant, used to organize projects. A tenant can have multiple folders. A folder can be used to manage projects in different fashions according to the company organization or activity. For example, in a geographical way, to separate activities, or type of markets, or according to organizational considerations. The folders are very useful to organize the segregation of resources.

Projects

Represents a specific initiative or workstream within a folder. Projects are linked to concrete activities that involve resources and access rights on these resources.

Resources

A resource is a logical item that must be protected by the IAM. A resource must be declared in a project. Each time a specific user or machine needs to access a resource, the IAM is requested, to verify if this account benefits of the good authorization.
