Permissions

  • Super admins can configure SSO and SCIM for their org. Super admins have:

    • Full visibility and administrative rights over users and workspaces in the organization.

    • Visibility into on-domain users and any external user collaborating on an org-owned workspace, base, or interface.

    • Control Airtable licenses.

    • Ability to create new org units or grant super admin access through the admin panel; new org units inherit the organization's default security policies.

    • Ability to configure SSO, SCIM, and domains.

    • Power to establish security policies that apply to all org units by default. Rules for APIs and compliance tools such as EKM, DLP, and audit logs apply to the entire organization.

  • Org unit admins cannot connect user groups to org units. However, org unit admins have:

    • Visibility into specific org units where they are an admin.

    • Administrative rights for workspaces and user permissions on their org units.

    • Visibility into all org unit members, and any on-domain user or external user collaborating on an org unit-owned workspace, base, or interface.

Airtable terminology

  • Enterprise Hub - The feature on the Enterprise Scale plan that supports a more complex organizational structure in Airtable with organizational units, central visibility and control for IT, and scalable administration with layers of admin roles (super admin and org unit admin).

Scaling org unit membership management in Airtable

Note

To control org unit assignments using SCIM, we recommend pushing groups to Airtable through SCIM and then connecting those groups to org units.

Super admins in Enterprise Hub can connect user groups to an org unit—allowing you to control org membership through user groups instead of manually assigning and unassigning org unit members.

Any group members connected to your organization are members of that org unit.

Connecting user groups to org units

Note

  • An org unit can be connected to multiple user groups. A user is only required to be a member of one connected user group to be assigned to the org unit.

  • Changes to connected user groups automatically apply to the org unit's membership.

  • To connect a user group to an org unit, the user group must belong to the Default org unit.

  • To control org unit assignments with SCIM, we recommend pushing groups to Airtable through SCIM before connecting groups to org units.

Once a user group is connected to an org unit:

  • The org unit's existing list of members is overwritten.

  • All users that belong to a connected user group become members of that org unit.

  • The org unit's membership status automatically changes to "Connected to user group."

  • The org unit's membership status cannot change until all user groups are disconnected from that org unit.

To connect user groups to an org unit:

  1. Open your admin panel.

  2. Click Organizations.

  3. Search for and locate your preferred organization.

  4. Click the … icon in the last column of the organization's row.

  5. Click Connect user groups.

    1. A new modal opens, allowing you to search for and select your preferred user groups to connect to an org unit.

  6. Click the + icon and select your preferred user group(s).

  7. Click Save.

Editing user group connections

  1. Open your admin panel.

  2. Click Organizations.

  3. Search for and locate your preferred connected organization.

  4. Click the … icon in the last column of the organization's row.

  5. Click Edit user group connections.

    • A new modal opens, allowing you to add or remove user group connections.

  6. Click the + or X icons to add or remove user group connections.

  7. Click Save.

Viewing connected user groups

  1. Open your admin panel.

  2. Click Organizations.

    • Org units connected to user groups display a link icon next to the "Members" column.

  3. Click the X members icon to display all currently connected user groups. The X will vary depending on the number of members in that user group.

    • A new modal opens, displaying all currently connected user groups.

  4. Click your preferred user group's name to open its detail page.

    • A new page opens, showing the total org unit connections for the user group.

Disconnecting user groups

  1. Open your admin panel.

  2. Click Organizations.

  3. Search for and locate your preferred connected organization.

  4. Click the … icon in the last column of the organization's row.

  5. Click Disconnect from user groups.

  6. Click Disconnect.

    • Users in disconnected user groups retain org unit membership and can be assigned/unassigned individually from the org unit.

    • User groups no longer determine org unit membership.

    • After being disconnected from user groups, the org unit's membership setting reverts to the organization's default setting.
