Enterprise controls
Controls sit in three layers; each layer sets the limits for the one below it.
Three layers of control
| Layer | Set by | Where | When it applies | Representative controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Install | The install admin | Admin Console (install configuration) | On the next deploy | Data location, model gateway and providers, agent network access, connector destinations |
| 2. Platform | Context’s deployment team and your point of contact | Setup console and deployment switches | Without a redeploy | Sign-in and SCIM, Context Code and task desktop, model guardrails, scheduled tasks |
| 3. Organization and workspace | Organization and workspace admins | Settings in the app | Immediately | Roles and permissions, sharing and export lock, connectors for the organization, audit log |
