Your role on the platform

You run the platform itself: who can sign in, what roles they hold, how the platform performs, and what it costs. You also own the platform's operating workflows with the AI Centre of Excellence.

What you can do

  • User and business-unit onboarding
  • Role and permission assignment
  • Workspaces, projects, SSO and identity configuration
  • Quotas, budgets and platform-wide analytics
