Quickstart for admins

Set up an organization end to end — invite members, configure teams and roles, apply data entitlements and RLS, and turn on SSO and MFA.

This quickstart walks an administrator through standing up a new Flax organization: people, permissions, data governance, and security. Most steps below are admin-gated.

#1. Create your organization

Create the organization that owns your connections, models, and dashboards. This is the top-level tenant every other setting hangs off. See Organization.

#2. Invite members

Invite your users by email. Each invitation grants access to the organization; you assign what they can do in the next step. See Members and invitations.

#3. Set up teams and roles

Group members into teams and assign roles to control who can build models, edit dashboards, or administer the org. Role-based access control (RBAC) keeps permissions manageable as you grow. See Teams and RBAC.

#4. Apply data entitlements and RLS

Control which rows each person can see. Data entitlements and row-level security (RLS) filter query results by team or user attribute, so the same dashboard shows each viewer only their permitted data. See Data entitlements.

#5. Configure SSO

Connect your identity provider so members sign in with your existing credentials and are provisioned centrally. See SSO.

#6. Harden security and MFA

Turn on multi-factor authentication and review the remaining security controls — session policy and related settings. See Security.

Important

Configure data entitlements and RLS before sharing dashboards widely. Permissions are enforced at query time across every surface, so getting them right up front prevents accidental data exposure.
