Invite a User to your Organization

Select the Users tab to manage your current organization’s membership. When you invite a user, they will join the organization that you are current logged into. To invite a user to a different organization, you must switch organizations, and then invite the user from the selected organization.

  1. Click Admin and select the My Organization tab.
  2. Click Invite User.
  1. Enter their email.
  2. Select a permissions group for the user.
  3. Click Send Invite.

The invited user will receive an email with a link to join. If the invited user is already a member of another organization, then they can switch between accounts.

Membership Requests

When a user requests to join your organization, their request will be listed on the Membership Requests tab.

Groups

Select the Groups tab to manage your current organization’s groups permissions.

Permission Groups

By default, there are three permission groups:

  • Admin: Write access to all resources.
  • Analyst: Read-only access to all resources.
  • Standard: Read-only access to most resources, with Write access to Facets, Rehydrations, Monitors, and Search.

Resource Types

When configuring permissions for a group, you can grant Read or Write access to the following resource types:

Removing Admin Permissions

To remove regular permissions from a user when JIT is enabled, simply remove them from the permissions group in your IDP. However, to remove admin permissions from a user, you must remove them using the IDP and also remove them from the Admin group in Edge Delta. This helps prevent accidental account lockout. To remove an admin user:

  1. Remove admin permissions from the user in the IDP (if JIT is enabled.)
  2. In the Edge Delta app, click Admin - My Organization.
  3. Click Groups.
  4. Click the Actions column button in the Admin row and select Edit User Group.
  5. Click Group Members.
  6. Click the Delete button on the user you want to remove from the Admin group.
