New tenant creation

This article lists the steps that are taken to provision a new tenant, including the decision points affecting setup.

Steps

Choose authentication provider

Flowgear offers authentication either via a Microsoft or Google ID (using OpenID Connect).

• Configure platform authentication via Microsoft ID
• Configure platform authentication via Google ID

Choose version control provider

Customers can opt in to using a version control system as the backing store for Workflow definitions. When selected, a JSON representation of the Workflow is committed to a branch correlating to the appropriate Environment during a save operation.

Under Release Management, customers can promote workflows from one Environment to another via the Console or directly use Pull Requests within Version Control.

See Setting up a Version Control Token for more information on how to configure a version control token in Github.

For customers who do not wish to use Github, we also provide a default storage option. Under this configuration, the experience within the Console is virtually identical but the source JSON for the workflows is stored internally to Flowgear and not within Github.
