About App management

App management is the instance-level administration area in AlloyScan. Use it when you need to manage configuration that belongs to the AlloyScan instance as a whole rather than to one current Site.

This area matters most in multi-site deployments. If your AlloyScan instance hosts many tenant Sites, App management is where Global Administrators create Sites, maintain default configuration for new Sites, and manage shared configuration such as email delivery and the manufacturer catalog.

Note: This page covers instance-level administration in App management. It is used by Global Administrators.

What belongs here

The App management tab contains:

  • Sites — create and manage Sites on the instance
  • Email client settings — configure email delivery for the instance
  • Notification templates — manage instance-level notification templates
  • Site template — configure Notification templates, Analytics, Change tracking, and Tools defaults copied into newly created Sites
  • Security — manage instance-level Users, App registrations, and SSO providers
  • Resources — manage shared catalogs such as Manufacturers
  • Billing — review Limits and usage and License Information
  • Logs — review Notifications, Change log, and Security log at instance scope

Why this section exists

App management serves a different job from current-Site administration:

  • Site administration operates the current Site
  • App management operates the instance that hosts many Sites

That difference is especially important for Site template. The Site template does not update the current Site; it sets defaults that are copied into future Sites at creation time.

Common examples

Use App management to:

  • create a new Site for a new tenant
  • configure the Site template before onboarding a batch of new Sites
  • update shared email client settings
  • maintain the shared Manufacturers catalog
  • review instance-wide billing and license state
  • review instance-wide logs
