Organisation Administration is a web-based interface for administering an organisation’s access to resources on a Covata Platform instance. This interface also provides access to a number of configurable features of Covata technologies * that apply to the organisation and Covata users who are members of the organisation. Organisation Administration dashboard page Organisation administrators are users who, once signed in to Organisation Administration, can access its dashboard (depicted above) and have the ability to perform the following administration activities within their organisation on their Covata Platform instance:
  • Configure users (also known as ‘Covata users’) who are members of their organisation, where these user’s accounts can be added as newly created ones or accounts which have already been registered on the Covata Platform.
  • Manage their organisation’s contact groups, defining groups of Covata users with whom items can be shared.
  • Configure and manage their organisation’s user whitelist, defining which people can be shared items within the organisation based on their email address/domain, including people who are not organisation members or yet registered on the Covata Platform.
  • Manage their organisation’s classifications and clearances, both of which are used in conjunction to help ensure that classified content is only shareable with Covata users who have clearance to access this content.
  • Manage their organisation’s plans, each of which defines a storage quota used to restrict the amount of storage (managed by the Covata Platform’s Content Service) available to individual Covata user accounts.
  • Disable or re-enable access to any files encrypted using Covata technologies on the Covata Platform, as well as view all recorded activities on these files.
  • Generate reports on requests made by client applications to the Covata Platform’s API.
  • Change the configuration of Organisation Administration properties.
