Scope

This task describes the process of setting up authorisation. However, the document Tribal Edge Core Branding & Pre-Requisite Template, which is available on Tribal Communities, must be completed before you can set up authorisation. The document defines environment authentication, and branding of your environment. The section Edge Login Configuration defines authentication, which must be completed before setting up groups.
