Sharing Families between Tenants - UI

Note

Fugue’s sharing families between tenants feature is available for Enterprise Customers utilizing Fugue Organizations. To request access, contact support@fugue.co.

Admin users in the root tenant can share families (Fugue or Custom) to the child tenants that belong in the Organization. Admin root users share a family from the root tenant to the child tenants. Child tenants cannot share families to other child tenants or the root tenant.

Additionally, only an Admin user in the root tenant can edit a shared family. If the admin user in the root tenant switches to a child tenant, they cannot edit the shared family.

When an Admin user in the root tenant shares a family, child tenants gain access to the configuration options and custom rules (when applicable). Once a family is shared to child tenants, users in the child tenant cannot make edits to the family and this includes:

  • Adding or removing rules from the family

  • Editing the family (i.e., name, description, recommended, always enabled, associated rules)

  • Enabling or disabling custom rules from the family. Users can still enable or disable Fugue rules within their tenant.

Note

If you share a family that contains custom rules, users in the child tenants cannot enable or disable the rule states, because there is only one “version” of that rule effectively to the user.

To share a family to child tenants, follow the steps below:

  1. In the root tenant, navigate to the Families page.

  2. Select the compliance family > select Share Family > and click Save.

  3. Click Edit Family and check the Always Enabled checkbox. This ensures that a family is always ran in the child tenant. Refer to Modifying Custom Families -UI for more information.

  4. Click Update Family.

Note

You must be assigned the Admin policy in the root tenant to have the permissions needed to share families to child tenants within your organization. For more information, see RBAC.
