Permissions

On the Board Settings | Permissions screen, you can set board admins, access for Tonkean Support, and control who can publish solutions.

Edit Board Admins

Board admins play an important part in implementing and maintaining your organization's security and permissions policies in Tonkean. Board admins have a variety of powers:

  • Manage users and assign roles

  • Connect and configure identity providers

  • Set board-level data source connection rules

  • Set publishing and invitation policies

To add or edit board admins, follow the steps below:

  1. Select Edit Admins to add or remove board admins.

  3. When finished, select Save.

Set Default Actor

The default actor is automatically assigned as the user responsible for creating the module item and for the actions in the module. For example, if you set the Updater to Default actor in an Update Field action, that user displays as the one who performed the action in the relevant business report and logs.

The default actor is automatically set to the module creator.

Enable Support Access

Enable support remote access to allow Tonkean support to view and edit the module for support and troubleshooting needs. All actions and changes performed by support are logged.

For modules whose permissions are not set to Private, the support access setting is inherited from the board settings. To configure support access in the board settings, select your profile icon in the upper right and select Board Settings. Select Permissions in the sidenav and then enable or disable the support access as needed.

Configure Solution Publish Settings

By default, any maker with access to a solution can publish that solution. Configure the provided checkboxes to restrict who can publish a solution:

  • Allow publishers management - Enable additional options for managing who can publish a solution. By default, this option is disabled, allowing any maker to publish solutions. Enabling this option requires you to specify which users can publish solutions by selecting the module settings button on the Solutions Studio screen, three_dots_horiz.png, then navigating to Manage Publishers and adding publishers.

  • Restrict solution creation only to board admins - Restrict who can create a new solution exclusively to board admins.

Set Invite Settings

Enable this option to allow users to set owners and collaborators outside of their board. Once enabled, these outside users are invited to the board and given access to any public modules.

Theme

On the Board Settings | Theme screen, you can set a company logo, homepage background image, and brand colors. You can also set global colors to set a brand-aligned color palette.

Once these elements are set, you can apply this theme globally for your entire board, ensuring a consistent look and feel across all your solutions. Enabling this global theme replaces any custom themes set at the level of individual workspace apps, forms, or interfaces, and prevents makers from setting custom themes.

To enable the board-level global theme, select the Apply globally toggle.
