Administration

Overview#

The Administration module provides enterprise-level management capabilities for the Argus platform. It encompasses Systems Integrator (SI) management, tenant organization provisioning, background job orchestration, data normalization pipelines, and administrative dashboard analytics -- all with strict multi-tenant isolation and full audit trails.

Key Features#

• Systems Integrator Management - Manage Systems Integrator entities that oversee multiple tenant organizations, with tiered access and feature control.
• Tenant Provisioning - Provision, configure, suspend, reactivate, and deprovision customer organizations with a complete lifecycle workflow.
• Tiered Configuration - Four subscription tiers (Starter, Professional, Enterprise, Government) with configurable user limits, investigation quotas, and storage allocations.
• Background Job Management - Queue, monitor, and manage asynchronous jobs with priority-based scheduling, automatic retries, and batch processing.
• Data Normalization - Transform heterogeneous data from multiple sources into a standardized schema using configurable field mappings and transformation rules.
• Administrative Dashboard - Real-time dashboard with metrics on users, investigations, storage, API usage, system health, and compliance status.
• Quota Management - Monitor and enforce resource quotas per tenant, including users, investigations, and storage.
• Security and Compliance Monitoring - Track API errors, failed authentications, suspicious activities, and compliance readiness across data retention, encryption, MFA adoption, and audit logging.
• Programmable API Access - Full API support for all administrative operations.

Role-Based Access#

• Platform Administrator - Full platform access including Systems Integrator management, global provisioning, and system monitoring.
• Systems Integrator Administrator - Manage their own SI metadata, view their customers, and create tenants under their SI.
• Tenant Administrator - Manage their own organization, view dashboard metrics, configure tenant settings, and manage background jobs.

Use Cases#

• Onboarding New Customers - Provision new tenant organizations with appropriate tier configurations, feature flags, and resource quotas through a streamlined workflow.
• Operational Monitoring - Monitor system health, queue depths, API usage, and security metrics through the administrative dashboard to ensure platform reliability.
• Data Integration - Normalize incoming data from diverse sources (OSINT feeds, external APIs, manual uploads) into a consistent format using configurable field mappings.
• Compliance Oversight - Track compliance readiness across all tenants, including data retention policies, encryption status, MFA adoption rates, and audit logging completeness.

Integration#

The Administration module serves as the foundation for the Argus platform:

• All Modules - Tenant provisioning and configuration controls which features and modules are available to each organization.
• Audit Trail - All administrative operations are logged with full audit trails for compliance and accountability.
• Billing - Usage metrics feed into billing summaries with projected costs and estimated charges.
• Data Ingestion - The normalization pipeline integrates with data source connectors to standardize incoming data before it reaches other modules.
