Admins, or users with the Configure settings permission, can adjust system-wide settings for entities under . There are general settings that apply to all entity types, and settings specific to teams and domains.

General entity settings

  • Enable changing entity type

    • Allow whether or not existing entities can change their type. For example, changing the type of an entity from service to domain. Note that this could result in broken YAMLs with dependencies and hierarchies.

  • Auto import from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud

  • Always append suffixed to resource discovery

    • Appends the type to the auto-generated tag for imported entities

  • Auto-archiving entities by type

  • Data verification

Team entity settings

  • Enabled identity providers

    • In this section, you can select which identity providers will be used to sync team and team memberships into Cortex.

  • Auto import teams

    • In order for teams to be imported, Workday needs to be enabled under the Enabled identity providers section on this settings page. The Workday report must include the managerEmail field in order for team relationships to be auto imported.

  • Team ownership entity editing

  • Give edit access to all team members

    • When enabled, all team members will be granted edit access to the entities owned by their team. You will not be able to turn off edit access for individual members in your teams configuration when this is enabled.

Team member roles tab

  • Sync team roles from identity providers

    • When enabled, Cortex will automatically assign roles to team members based on your enabled identity providers. Leave this option disabled to assign team roles manually.

  • Roles

Domain entity settings
