Organization scoping

Organization scoping mistakes are high-risk. A correct support action in the wrong tenant is still a bad support action.

Jericho may have:

  • A customer organization.
  • A parent organization for an partner or delegated operator.
  • Child organizations for individual managed customers.
  • Admin users scoped to one or more organizations.

Before changing organization-level settings

Section titled “Before changing organization-level settings”
  1. Confirm whether the request is for the parent organization or a child customer organization.
  2. Confirm whether the setting is inherited or tenant-specific.
  3. Confirm whether the requester is allowed to manage that tenant.
  4. If any answer is unclear, escalate.

The operator finds the parent organization, then changes a setting that should have been changed on a child organization.

Avoid this by checking the customer name, domain, and relationship before making changes.

When a parent tenant has child organizations, pause before changing settings. The request may belong to a child tenant, not the parent.

When escalating, include:

  • Requested customer.
  • Organization page URL.
  • Parent organization, if any.
  • Child organization, if any.
  • Setting or workflow being investigated.
  • Screenshot with sensitive fields redacted.
