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.
