How to set up authorisation

Before you start, ensure that the document Tribal Edge Core Branding & Pre-Requisite Template has been completed and sent to Tribal. Then, plan the groups and roles required by your institution, before setting up the groups.

Pre-requisites

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 Edge environment. The section Edge Login Configuration defines authentication, which must be completed before setting up groups.

To download the document, go to Tribal Communities, go to Community and then Knowledge base and then Tribal Edge platform knowledge base and then General Information and then Accessing Tribal Edge Tenants (Environments).
