Platform Administration
Manage enrollment, third-party apps, usage monitoring, and enrollment-level configuration as a platform admin.
1 ยท Enrollment Management
An enrollment is a Foundry instance. As an admin, you manage:
- User provisioning โ who can log in, usually via SSO / SAML integration.
- Group management โ organising users into teams with shared permissions.
- Resource quotas โ 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.
2 ยท 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.
3 ยท Third-Party Application Management
Foundry's platform can host third-party applications and integrations โ 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.

- 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.
