Centralized management

Centralized management provides single tenant-level governance while enabling workspace-level customization across multiple brands, regions, or business units. You maintain operational efficiency and consistent governance while allowing appropriate flexibility for different business needs.

💡 Why this matters
You reduce operational complexity and ensure consistent governance across all brands while enabling the flexibility each business unit needs to serve their specific requirements.

Key capabilities​

  • Unified platform administration – Single point of control for platform-wide settings and policies
  • Hierarchical governance – Tenant-level rules with workspace-level flexibility where appropriate
  • Consolidated monitoring – Centralized dashboards and alerts across all workspaces and brands
  • Standardized security policies – Consistent baseline security with workspace-specific enhancements
  • Efficient resource management – Optimal resource allocation and utilization across all workspaces

Outcomes​

Organizations that implement centralized management typically achieve:

  • Reduced operational overhead through unified administration and monitoring
  • Consistent governance with appropriate flexibility for business unit needs
  • Improved security posture through standardized policies and centralized oversight

Design principles​

  • Balance control with flexibility by setting appropriate boundaries for workspace customization
  • Standardize common operations while allowing business-specific variations where needed

FAQ​

What can be managed centrally vs. per workspace?

Platform settings, core security policies, and compliance requirements are managed centrally, while branding, specific authentication flows, and business-specific policies can be customized per workspace.

How does this reduce operational overhead?

Single-pane-of-glass administration, unified monitoring, and standardized processes reduce the need for separate management systems and specialized expertise per brand.

Can workspaces override central policies?

Workspaces can enhance central policies with additional security measures but cannot weaken or override core governance requirements.

How is resource usage monitored across workspaces?

Centralized dashboards provide visibility into resource utilization, performance metrics, and security events across all workspaces and brands.

What happens when new brands or regions are added?

New workspaces inherit central governance policies and can be configured with brand-specific customizations without affecting existing operations.
