Manage tenants in the Chef 360 Platform UI

On the Tenant Management page, you can add, manage, and configure organization units, users, licenses, and single sign-on (SSO) settings. The Org Units table contains the Org Id, Org Unit Name, Status, Description, and Actions columns.

To export the Org Units table in CSV format, select Export at the top-right of the table. Exported data is limited to a maximum of 100 records.

Create a new organization unit

To create a new organization unit, follow these steps:

  1. Select Create New Org Unit.

  2. Enter the Org Unit Name in the org unit name text box.

  3. Add a Description of the organization unit.

  4. If required, tick the checkbox to create a default skill assembly.

    Note

    If checked, Chef 360 Platform creates a skill assembly with default skills that it will install on nodes during enrollment. We recommend using this skill assembly for trials, proof of concepts, and non-production environments. Review and edit this assembly for production environments.

    If unchecked, Chef 360 Platform creates an empty skill assembly. Update the skill assembly to include the required skills that Chef 360 Platform will install on nodes during node enrollment.

  5. Select Save Org Unit.

Update or disable an organization unit

You can update or delete an organization unit by clicking the Actions menu option.

  1. Select Update to update the organization unit.

  2. Select Disable to delete the organization unit.

SSO configuration

The SSO Configuration page allows you to add and manage identity providers (IdPs) for a tenant. An IdP allows users to log in to Chef 360 Platform using their existing credentials from the external IdP. This simplifies the login process and enhances security by leveraging centralized authentication.

SSO restrictions

If an SSO identity provider provides user authentication, users have the following restrictions:

  • Users that log in using SSO can’t update their email address using identity management endpoints. The affected APIs are PUT /identity/self and PUT /identity/user/{userId}.

  • If local_login is disabled in the tenant SSO settings configuration, the following operations fail gracefully for all users:

    • Set password: POST /identity/email/password/set
    • Reset password: POST /identity/email/{emailId}/password/reset
    • Patch password: PATCH /identity/self/credentials
    • Expire password: PATCH /identity/email/{emailId}/password/expire
    • Login with username and password: POST /identity/user/login

Note

If the SSO identity provider manages a user’s roles, the user can’t perform the following operations:

  • Delete: /platform/user-accounts/v1/user/{userId}/role/{roleId}
  • Patch (disable user): /platform/user-accounts/v1/user/{userId}/disable
  • Patch (disable role): /platform/user-accounts/v1/user/{userId}/role/{roleId}/disable
  • Patch (enable role): /platform/user-accounts/v1/user/{userId}/role/{roleId}/enable
