Additional Information for Admin/Owner

Below are additional background information for yourself as the ADMIN user in the Akaun platform. It will help you ensure that multiple users and respective access are set up correctly for operational usage.

1. Understanding Multiple Tenants and Ranks of Users

Upon successful login to the Akaun environment, you can identify your rank and tenancy profile through the "RANK" and "TENANT" tags. Within each environment (Production, Staging, Development), there is one root database and multiple tenant databases. Users can join multiple tenants, each with different ranks such as OWNER, ADMIN, MEMBER, GUEST, or VISITOR.

• OWNER: The owner of a tenant has full control and can add any applets to the "applet catalog." They can also add or remove users from the tenant, or promote other users within the tenant to become owners. However, they are not allowed to reset the user password as identity management is handled at the root or platform level. This rank is typically granted to business owners or MIS Managers.

• ADMIN: The admin of a tenant has nearly the same privileges as the owner, except they cannot add, remove, or promote other users to become owners. This role is usually given to MIS Executives or managers within a company.

• MEMBER: Members have limited administrative capabilities and cannot administer tenants or applet catalogs. However, after installing a specific applet, they can become an owner, admin, or member of that applet. It’s important to note that the "OWNER/ADMIN of the Tenant" is not the same as the "OWNER/ADMIN" of the "Applet."

2. Applet Store

By default, a newly signed-up user will see the "Applet Store" upon successful login. From the Applet Store, a user will be able to install applets from public or private applet catalogs. It is very important for users to take note that they can see the "RANK" and "TENANT" tags before installing the applet to ensure they are installing the correct applet for themselves.

If you are NOT the OWNER/ADMIN of a tenant, you can still view a list of applet catalogs and multiple applets within each catalog, allowing you to install any applet accordingly.
