Organisations

Manage the core organisational configuration that defines how your Telblu environment is structured.

An Organisation is the highest-level object within Telblu. It acts as the container for departments, users, strategies, governance, reporting and platform configuration.

Organisation Configuration

Define the organisation profile, identity and authentication policy, default roles, and administrative preferences that apply across the tenant.

Platform Settings

Control platform-wide behaviour including session policy, data visibility defaults, feature availability and integration endpoints scoped to the organisation.

Organisation Structure

Establish the hierarchy of departments, teams and workspaces that belong to the organisation and inherit its configuration.

Administration

Manage users, invitations, role assignments, delegated administrators and organisation-scoped settings from a single administrative control surface.

Overview

An Organisation is the root container for all platform data. Every department, strategy, user, workspace and governance process belongs to a single organisation. Changes made at organisation level can influence how information is organised and managed across the platform.

What is an Organisation?

In Telblu, an organisation is the root tenant object. Every other object - users, roles, departments, workspaces and configuration - belongs to a single organisation and cannot be shared across organisation boundaries. Understanding the organisation as a container is the starting point for configuring the rest of the platform.

What is an Organisation?

An organisation is the root object in the Telblu data model. It represents a distinct tenant - typically a company, group or entity - that owns its own users, roles, departments and configuration. All other objects in Telblu exist inside an organisation and cannot be shared across organisation boundaries.

What settings are configured?

Organisation-level configuration includes the organisation profile, authentication and identity provider policy, default role assignments, department structure, and any organisation-wide preferences that govern how Telblu behaves for members of the tenant.

How does it affect the rest of the platform?

The organisation defines the scope for every request. Authenticated sessions are bound to an organisation, role assignments are evaluated within it, and data access is restricted to objects owned by it. Changing organisation-level settings affects all users, departments and workspaces inside the tenant.

What can administrators manage?

Organisation administrators manage users and invitations, role assignments, department structure, authentication policy, identity provider configuration and organisation profile. Administrative actions are recorded in the audit log where available and are always scoped to the organisation the administrator belongs to.

What is inherited by departments?

Departments inherit the organisation's authentication policy, identity provider configuration and default role model. They exist inside the organisation's scope and cannot override organisation-level security settings. Department-specific configuration refines - but never replaces - what the organisation defines.

The organisation is the root of every other configuration

Info
Users, roles, departments and workspaces exist only inside an organisation. Configuration set at the organisation level applies to everything within its scope, and downstream objects such as departments inherit - but do not override - organisation-wide security and identity settings.

Organisation Hierarchy

Every object in Telblu exists inside a single organisation and carries its organisational context through the hierarchy. The organisation sets the boundary for users, data, roles and reporting. departments and downstream objects inherit that context and cannot operate outside it.

Organisation

Root tenant entity

Departments

Functional groups that own execution

Strategies

Approved direction owned by departments

Objectives

Measurable outcomes derived from strategies

Initiatives

Programmes of work delivering objectives

KPIs

Quantitative measures attached to objectives

Risks

Strategic risks linked to objectives

Governance

Approvals, policies and oversight records

Executive Control Centre

Unified executive view of the whole hierarchy

Organisation

The root tenant. Every user, role and object belongs to exactly one organisation. Organisation-level settings define identity policy, reporting defaults and administrative boundaries.

Departments

Functional groups that own strategy, objectives and delivery. Departments inherit the organisation's authentication policy, identity provider and default roles. They cannot override organisation-level security settings.

Strategies, Objectives, Initiatives, KPIs, Risks and Governance

Downstream strategic and operational objects are created within a department's scope. They carry the organisation identifier and department identifier into every record, ensuring access decisions and reporting always resolve to the correct tenant context.

Executive Control Centre

Rolls up the entire hierarchy into a single executive view. Because every upstream object shares the same organisational context, the Executive Control Centre can aggregate, filter and scope information consistently across the tenant.

Organisation Settings

The following settings are configured at organisation level. They become the defaults for the tenant and are inherited by departments and workspaces unless explicitly refined within their own scope.

What belongs to an Organisation?

Every object in Telblu is owned by an organisation. The cards below describe the core object types that live inside the organisation container and how they inherit its context.

Departments

Business functions managed within the organisation. Departments own strategy, objectives, delivery and reporting, and they inherit the organisation's authentication policy, identity provider and default role model.

  • Engineering
  • Finance
  • Sales
  • Operations
  • Human Resources

Users

Every authenticated user belongs to an organisation. User accounts, role assignments and sessions are scoped to the organisation, and users cannot access data or workspaces outside their assigned tenant.

  • Employees
  • Department leaders
  • Administrators
  • Executive users

Strategies

Departmental and organisational strategies are stored within the organisation. Each strategy carries the organisation identifier so that objectives, initiatives and KPIs can be filtered and reported by tenant.

  • Growth strategy
  • Operational excellence
  • Risk reduction
  • Product roadmap

Governance

Approvals, reviews and executive oversight operate within organisational boundaries. Governance records are linked to the organisation so that audit trails and compliance reports remain scoped to the tenant.

  • Approval workflows
  • Review cycles
  • Policy attestations
  • Compliance records

AI Intelligence

AI analyses approved organisational data and produces organisation-specific insights. AI outputs are scoped to the organisation and reflect only the data the tenant has chosen to make available for analysis.

  • Performance insights
  • Risk summaries
  • Governance recommendations
  • Trend analysis

Organisation Administration

Organisation administrators are responsible for keeping the tenant configuration accurate and ready for users, departments and downstream modules. Typical administration activities include the following.

ActivityDescription
Updating organisation informationMaintain the organisation profile, industry classification, timezone and contact details so that reports and integrations reference the correct tenant context.
Managing organisational structureDefine or adjust departments and reporting lines to reflect how the organisation is organised.
Configuring reporting periodsSet fiscal year, reporting frequency and period boundaries so that dashboards and executive reports align with the organisation's calendar.
Maintaining department hierarchyCreate, update and deactivate departments as the organisation changes, ensuring each department remains within the correct tenant scope.
Reviewing organisation settingsAudit authentication policy, identity provider configuration, default roles and platform settings to confirm they still match the organisation's requirements.
Preparing the platform for new departmentsConfigure roles, workspaces and governance templates before new departments are onboarded so that new teams inherit the correct organisation context.

Organisational Relationships

The organisation object links every major module in Telblu. Each module operates within the organisation's scope and uses the organisation identifier to filter data, enforce access controls and produce reports.

Organisation

Root tenant object

Departments

Functional groups and reporting lines

Users

Authenticated members of the tenant

Strategies

Strategic plans and objectives

Governance

Approvals, reviews and oversight

Administration

Configuration and user management

AI

Organisation-scoped intelligence

Executive Control Centre

Unified executive view

These modules are linked through the organisation object. A user session is bound to an organisation, departments exist inside it, strategies reference it, governance records are scoped by it, and the Executive Control Centre aggregates information across all of them. AI Intelligence uses the same organisation boundary to ensure insights are tenant-specific and do not leak across organisations.

Administrator Considerations

The following guidance helps administrators maintain a consistent and secure organisation configuration.

Configure the organisation before downstream objects

Info
The organisation should normally be configured before departments and users are created. Setting the timezone, fiscal year, reporting frequency and identity policy first ensures that downstream objects inherit the correct context from the moment they are created.

Keep organisation information up to date

Best practice
Keep organisation information up to date to ensure consistent reporting across all workspaces. Outdated timezone, fiscal year or industry settings can produce misleading dashboards and incorrect audit context.

Changes to organisation settings may have tenant-wide effects

Info
Changes to organisation settings may affect reporting, administration and workspace configuration. Review the impact on departments, users and governance workflows before applying changes in a production environment.
