How to create a Site

This guide shows you how to create a new Site (tenant) on the AlloyScan instance.

Prerequisites

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

  • You sign in as a Global Administrator — only this role can create Sites.
  • You have decided on a Title, a Slug (URL identifier), and a Time zone for the new Site.
  • The Site template at Admin Center > App management > Site template is in the state you want copied into the new Site.
  • You have planned the per-Site quotas (Max users, Max audited nodes, Max audits per month, Max API transactions per month). If you want the Site to inherit instance-level caps, you can leave these as 0.

Steps

  1. Sign in to AlloyScan as a Global Administrator.
  2. Open Admin Center > App management > Sites.
  3. Click + New site.
  4. Enter the Site Title (display name).
  5. Enter the Slug — this becomes the path component of every URL for the Site. Choose a short, lowercase, URL-safe identifier.
  6. Choose the Time zone for the Site. Log timestamps and schedule "next execution" times use this time zone.
  7. Under Automatically link new audits to this schedule, leave Default schedule selected to link new audits to the Site's default Audit schedule automatically. Clear the field if you do not want automatic linking.
  8. Optionally upload an Avatar (PNG / JPG / JPEG / WebP) for the Site.
  9. Save the form to create the Site.

Important: AlloyScan copies the current instance Site template into the new Site at creation. Subsequent changes to the Site template do not update existing Sites — apply changes directly on each Site if you need to retrofit them.

After creation

  1. Open Admin Center > Organization profile on the new Site to fine-tune Title, Slug, Site avatar, and Site limits (Max users, Max audited nodes, Max audits per month, Max API transactions per month). Use 0 to inherit the instance cap.
  2. If you selected Default schedule, review or customize it under Admin Center > Settings > Audit schedules.
  3. Provision the first Site Administrator at Admin Center > Security > Users.
  4. Configure Site-specific items as needed: snapshot storage, change tracking, notification templates, audit services.

Verify

  • Open the Site URL https://<instance>.alloyservice.com/<slug> in a browser and confirm the Dashboard loads.
  • Confirm the Site appears in the Admin Center > App management > Sites grid with the correct Title, Slug, and Time zone.
  • If automatic linking is configured, switch to the new Site and confirm Default schedule appears under Admin Center > Settings > Audit schedules.
  • Confirm the seeded defaults are visible in Admin Center.
