Building the Org Tree

When you have added AuthorizationHub to your web application, you can then create your organizational tree.

# Accessing the UI

Open a browser, and navigate to the root of your web application. Append it with

/authorizationhub-ui.

Every organizational tree begins with a root. With AuthorizationHub, that means creating a Tenant.

# Selecting the Party Type

The organizational tree can is composed of four different types of parties; Tenants, Organizations, People, or Roles. The roots will always be Tenants. Inside the add button, there is an option to choose which kind of party you want to add. Click on the arrow to select Tenant, then click on Add to create a new Tenant.

# Adding Data

The Display Name can be used in authorization requirements, while the External Id can be used to link the party to an authentication provider or other data source. Organizations and Roles are tied to a Tenant, and so the must have a unique DisplayName per tenant. ExternalIds can be empty, but if they have a value, it must be unique.

Simply fill out the information and click save.

Once the Tenant is saved, it will appear on the left as the root of a tree. A PartyId will also be assigned to the Tenant, and that Id can be used in authorization requirements.

Now that you have a Tenant, it's time to add parties such as Organizations and Roles that mirror the organization tree of users that use your application.
