Authing Identity Cloud releases multi-tenant 2.0 full-scenario solution

The Authing identity cloud multi-tenant solution is fully upgraded to the multi-tenant 2.0 version, and a few lines of code can be accessed in seconds to have industry-leading multi-tenant identity management capabilities.

Multi-tenancy is a software architectural pattern that supports multiple independent clients (tenants) in a single instance of a software application. In this architecture, multiple tenants share the same infrastructure, applications, and databases, while individual tenants' data and configuration remain isolated.

For example, Salesforce, the world's leading provider of customer relationship management (CRM) solutions, has adopted a multi-tenant architecture to support its huge customer base. Salesforce's multi-tenant architecture enables different customers (that is, tenants) to share infrastructure and services while ensuring data security and isolation.

The essence of the SaaS product leasing model is a multi-tenant architecture, which can optimize resource utilization, reduce costs, and improve scalability. The maturity of SaaS products depends largely on how to provide customers with comprehensive multi-tenant capabilities.

Compared with the previous version, Authing multi-tenant 2.0 has made a comprehensive iteration. On the underlying framework, tenants in the old version of multi-tenancy can only be associated with one application, but in Authing multi-tenancy 2.0, tenants and applications can be many-to-many, and each tenant is provided with complete console functions, making it It can fully cover various business scenarios. More Authing multi-tenant 2.0 capabilities will be described in detail below.

Enterprise Services and SaaS

Scenario use case: You may be a software supplier engaged in ToB business, and you want products to enter the market quickly and accelerate the PMF process. Self-developed complex multi-tenant functions will greatly share the main business resources, and allow enterprises to bear high R&D operation and maintenance costs and uncontrollable opportunity costs.

• The service of open source solutions is unstable, and layers of outsourcing are pitfalls
• Paid customization without maintenance, subsequent iterative update costs are high, and after-sales efficiency is low
• Business is growing rapidly, and the demand for cloud-native solutions is increasing day by day
• .....

A unified tenant management platform will greatly reduce operation and maintenance costs, and Authing will continue to provide you with industry-leading multi-tenant identity management capabilities. You only need to focus on your core business and continue to create value for your customers.

Identity Governance in Large and Complex Organizations

Scenario use case: If you are a large group, there are multiple subsidiaries under the group, and there are also roles such as internal employees, distributors, suppliers, upstream and downstream partners in the subsidiaries. Different subsidiaries in the group have different internal organizational structures and businesses. Since there is no unified identity center and multi-tenant capabilities, you may face the following problems:

• Due to the group's digital transformation, each subsidiary independently integrates and maintains various digital application systems due to different businesses, and the group cannot uniformly manage the application system data of each subsidiary.
• Each subsidiary needs to independently maintain and manage complex identity systems. The identity systems of each subsidiary are not synchronized, which leads to the inability of the group to achieve unified employee identity management. Internal identity governance costs are repeatedly wasted, collaboration efficiency is low, operating costs are high, and identity governance is chaotic. , serious information security risks and other issues.
• If the group operates global business, different subsidiaries need to abide by the data protection laws and regulations of the region, and the user behavior audit reports of each subsidiary are scattered and difficult to manage.

.....

Using Authing multi-tenant, the group can quickly realize unified identity management capabilities, provide OneID capabilities, enable enterprises to quickly integrate identity systems, and realize hierarchical decentralization of complex organizational structures. As a tenant under the group, each subsidiary also has complete identity management capabilities. Each tenant has an independent tenant console management interface, which can effectively manage the role permissions of internal employees, dealers, suppliers, upstream and downstream partners, etc.

The group multi-tenant administrator integrates all applications in one place and associates them with downstream subsidiaries to achieve single sign-on capabilities and application management capabilities in different tenants. Greatly reduce integration costs and operation and maintenance costs. At the same time, Authing multi-tenancy can help the group ensure that the data of each subsidiary complies with local regulatory requirements. Tenants are isolated based on logic and provide comprehensive user behavior audit logs within the tenant to ensure data isolation and security among tenants.

End User Governance for Complex Multilevel Services

Scenario use case: If your enterprise business is oriented to end users, but the enterprise relies on downstream distribution channels to sell products to end users. Before you have perfect multi-tenant management capabilities, you may face the following problems:

• Enterprises cannot achieve unified distributor hierarchical decentralization management
• There is no unified management panel to monitor distributors' business dynamics in real time
• Enterprises need to struggle to deal with the different needs of various distributors. For example: distribution channels need to have their own brand building needs, for example, users of distributor A are accustomed to using WeChat to log in, and users of distributor B are accustomed to logging in on DingTalk. Enterprises need to independently handle the login system and branding of each distributor. The cost is extremely high, the iteration is difficult, and the response speed is slow.

Authing multi-tenancy provides a tenant console for each tenant (distributor), which is convenient for tenants to manage end users independently. Through the permission management capability of the console, it is also possible to control the resource access permissions of different users under the tenant. At the same time, a unified user management dashboard is provided to facilitate tenants to quickly understand user usage data, and quickly make decisions and iterate products based on user conditions.

Enterprises can manage downstream distributors in a unified manner through the multi-tenant management system, and quickly practice hierarchical and decentralized management of downstream distributors through unified authority management. Each tenant can quickly build a branded login system with zero code on the console or custom CSS. Authing has pre-integrated multiple third-party login methods. Tenants can quickly configure multiple third-party login methods according to their needs to meet different customer groups. Need to achieve precision marketing.

• There are too many downstream distributors, each party has different login methods, the enterprise lacks the ability to isolate tenants and multi-party login, and each distributor cannot customize branding according to their own needs; for example, if the downstream distributor is a university, the university wants its own The login portal is a branded style with university characteristics.
• The company is in the early stage of SaaS, unable to provide PaaS capabilities to downstream distributors, and its scalability is weak, resulting in limited business development and weak market initiative.

solution

At the same time, it uses Authing's multi-tenant API access capability and SDK PaaS capabilities in multiple mainstream languages ​​to improve the flexible scalability of enterprises.
