🏢 Organization Management

Organization Management allows administrators to define organizational units, assign an owner, create groups within an organization, and review the projects associated with those groups.

Organizations and groups form the organizational hierarchy used across Tachyon for user association, project organization, and cluster access configuration.

⚙️ Hierarchy Settings

Tachyon supports a configurable two-level organizational hierarchy. Administrators can define the terminology used for each hierarchy level based on their enterprise structure.

Steps

  • Navigate to Admin → Organization.
  • Click the Settings icon on the Organization page.
  • The Hierarchy Settings dialog displays the configured hierarchy levels.
  • Configure the required names for:
  • Level 1
  • Level 2
  • Click Save to apply the hierarchy configuration.

For example, the hierarchy can be configured as:

Organization → Group

🔗 Relationship with Users, Projects, and Cluster Access

The configured hierarchy connects several areas of Tachyon.

A typical relationship is:

Organization → Group → User / Project → Cluster Access

For example:

  • An organization can contain one or more groups.
  • Users can be associated with an Organization and User Group.
  • Projects can be represented within the Organization and Group hierarchy.
  • Cluster Mapping can use organizational identity information to control cluster availability.
  • Where the Cluster Mapping interface uses the Department label, it represents the corresponding Level 1 organizational identity configured for the environment.
📌 General Notes:
  • Verify Organization and Group associations before modifying cluster mappings.
  • Changes to user Organization or Group associations can affect access controlled through identity-based mappings.
  • Project membership and cluster mapping should be reviewed together when validating workload access.
