SaaS for Enterprise Definitions

[codingforentrepreneurs]

👋 Welcome!

The first discussion is about the definitions we have for this course. Multi-tenant can be confusing. If you have questions, ask them below.

Definitions

Single and Multi-tenant: go to this discussion

Superuser: the Django admin user

Standard User: normal Django user with standard SaaS privileges (not a superuser or manager). Can be promoted to manager or superuser. Can only access the standard console within the SaaS.

Standard group: a Django group (built-in) of non-enterprise users. Logs in to the standard console.

Standard console: The primary domain's console for accessing the SaaS. Think a normal Django SaaS project.

Manager User a standard user with permission to manage an enterprise; can access the standard console and their enterprise console(s).

Enterprise console: A dedicated subdomain (e.g. cfe.example.com) for Enterprise Users to login. The data is isolated via Postgres Schemas or per-enterprise databases.

Enterprise User: can only login to the enterprise console within the SaaS. Cannot access the Standard console since it will not have record of the user.

Enterprise: A group of enterprise users that is managed by a standard user with manager permissions.
