Platform authentication setup

Solutions can use the Platform authentication token for a user log in.

  • Existing customers: Platform authentication is disabled by default and can be enabled upon request.

  • New customers: Platform authentication is enabled by default.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) requirements

As an Administrator, you need to enhance security and access control. By using RBAC, you can provide a more granular level of access to features and data. This allows you to control user access based on their roles and responsibilities, improving security and ensuring that users have the appropriate level of access.

You will need one or more Platform users with any of the following roles assigned to them:

Role name

Description

Solutions Admin

For solutions admins.

Solutions Core

View DEX content, status, and details of your packs, and view SCALE Code.Solutions Core role.

Full Administrator

Has all the permissions available in the Platform and its Applications.

To learn about how to configure Platform users, roles, and management groups, refer to Permissions.

Logging on

  1. When you log in to the Platform and navigate to a Solution, an authentication token is passed to that Solutions page.

  2. Your ID is checked and if you are an existing user in Solutions with a Solutions role, you are granted access.

  3. If you do not have an account in Solutions, the system verifies if your account has any of the following Platform roles:

    • Full Administrator.

    • Solutions Admin.

    • Solutions Core.

    If your Platform account includes any of the above roles, an account is created in Solutions with the same role, and you are logged into the corresponding solution. If your Platform account includes either the Full Administrator or Solutions Admin role, the system will establish any required event subscriptions.

  4. To log in to Solutions for the first time, refer to Initial login and user management.
