Set access policies for an organization

You can set policies for an organization to control access to the organization. When you set policies for an organization, this overrides any policies set at the environment level.

This topic provides instructions for the following tasks:

  • Allow anyone to join the organization
  • Only allow users from specific domains to sign in to the organization (i.e. apply domain restrictions for an organization)
  • When users from specific domains sign up, add them as members to this organization
  • Assign specific roles to new members of an organization

  4. Select Policies in the menu.

  6. (Only in the default organization) Choose if you want to Add users to this organization if no organization is specified on sign up.
  7. (Only if you switched on auto-adding at step 5) To restrict users from joining the organization unless they belong to an allowed domain, enter domains in the Allowed domains list. Use the format domain.com and not https://www.domain.com. If you leave this empty, users from any domain can sign up.
