Settings

The Settings section provides comprehensive configuration options for your Axellero Studio applications. Manage authentication, permissions, system configurations, and administrative features.

Settings Categories Overview

Authentication Provider Types

API Token Management

Overview

Studio settings are organized into logical categories that allow you to:

• Control Access: Manage who can access your applications and what they can do
• Configure Authentication: Set up secure login methods and identity providers
• Manage Integrations: Control API access and external integrations
• Customize Experience: Configure language preferences and application behavior
• Define Constants: Set up reusable configuration values across your application

Settings Hierarchy

Settings in Axellero Studio follow the platform hierarchy:

Organization-Level Settings

Apply across all workspaces and applications:

• Organization-wide authentication providers
• Master user management
• Global security policies
• Billing and subscription settings

Workspace-Level Settings

Apply to all applications within a workspace:

• Workspace authentication configuration
• Shared constants and configurations
• Team member access controls
• Resource sharing policies

Application-Level Settings

Specific to individual applications:

• Application-specific authentication
• API tokens and access controls
• Language and localization settings
• Application constants and variables

Quick Start

Initial Configuration

When setting up a new application:

1. Configure Authentication: Set up user login methods
2. Add Team Members: Invite users and assign roles
3. Set Up Languages: Configure localization if needed
4. Define Constants: Add application configuration values
5. Generate API Tokens: Create tokens for external access

Regular Management

Ongoing settings management:

• Review Member Access: Regularly audit user permissions
• Rotate API Tokens: Update tokens for security
• Update Languages: Add new localizations as needed
• Manage Constants: Update configuration values as requirements change
• Monitor Authentication: Ensure secure access configurations

Permission Management

Role-Based Access Control

Permission Granularity

Security Considerations

Access Control

Implement proper security measures:

Role-Based Permissions:

• Assign minimum necessary permissions
• Use predefined roles when possible
• Regularly review and update access rights
• Implement approval processes for sensitive changes

Authentication Security:

• Use strong authentication methods
• Enable multi-factor authentication where available
• Configure secure password policies
• Monitor authentication logs for suspicious activity

API Security

Protect programmatic access:

Token Management:

• Generate unique tokens for each integration
• Set appropriate token expiration periods
• Regularly rotate tokens
• Monitor token usage and access patterns

Access Restrictions:

• Limit API token permissions to necessary operations
• Use IP whitelisting when possible
• Monitor API usage for anomalies
• Implement rate limiting where appropriate

Data Protection

Safeguard sensitive information:

Configuration Security:

• Protect sensitive constants and configuration values
• Use secure storage for credentials and secrets
• Implement proper access controls for settings
• Audit configuration changes

Best Practices

User Management

Effectively manage team access:

Onboarding:

• Create standardized onboarding processes
• Assign appropriate initial permissions
• Provide training on platform usage
• Document role responsibilities

Access Review:

• Regularly audit user permissions
• Remove access for inactive users
• Update permissions as roles change
• Maintain principle of least privilege

Configuration Management

Maintain consistent configurations:

Documentation:

• Document all configuration changes
• Maintain configuration baselines
• Create change management processes
• Keep settings documentation current

Testing:

• Test configuration changes in development environments
• Validate authentication and access controls
• Monitor system behavior after changes
• Have rollback procedures ready

Maintenance

Keep settings current and secure:

Regular Reviews:

• Schedule periodic settings reviews
• Update outdated configurations
• Remove unused API tokens
• Clean up inactive user accounts

Monitoring:

• Monitor settings usage and access
• Track configuration changes
• Alert on suspicious activities
• Maintain audit logs
