Platform Administration
Module Summary
Manage enrollment, third-party apps, usage monitoring, and enrollment-level configuration as a platform admin.
Enrollment Management
An enrollment is a Foundry instance. As an admin, you manage:
- User provisioning — who can log in, usually via SSO / SAML integration.
- Group management — organising users into teams with shared permissions.
- Resource quotas — controlling how much compute and storage each project can use.
Automate provisioning through Foundry's Admin APIs to keep user management in sync with your corporate identity provider.
Monitoring and Usage Analytics
Foundry provides built-in usage analytics:
- Which datasets are built most frequently.
- Which users are most active.
- Where compute spend is concentrated.
- Which resources are unused (candidates for cleanup).
Use these insights to right-size resources, identify training needs, and justify ROI to leadership.
Third-Party Application Management
Foundry's platform can host third-party applications and integrations — OAuth clients, service accounts, and external API consumers. As an admin, you:
- Approve or deny third-party app registrations.
- Audit which external systems are accessing data.
- Rotate secrets and tokens on a regular cadence.
- Monitor rate limits and usage patterns.
Tight control over third-party access is essential for maintaining your security posture.
Key Takeaways
- Admins manage users, groups, quotas, and SSO integration.
- Usage analytics help right-size resources and identify waste.
- Third-party app management controls which external systems access Foundry.
- Automate provisioning via Admin APIs to stay in sync with your identity provider.
