Administration and business — overview

This area brings together everything an administrator needs to run their organisation in Foral: creating and managing accounts, connecting your identity provider and meeting security and compliance requirements. All of it with the data hosted 100% in the European Union.

Who this guide is for

It is meant for anyone with an administration role in Foral — typically the USER_ADMIN and SUPER_ADMIN roles, but also the HELPDESK role for support tasks. You do not need to be technical: the tasks explained here are done from the admin panel, on the Users page and in the Settings panel.

What you will learn

• Manage users — create, suspend and delete accounts, assign roles, import people in bulk and organise groups.
• Connect your company identity — turn on single sign-on (SSO) and synchronise users automatically from your directory.
• Strengthen security and compliance — require two-step verification, consult the audit log and respond to data requests under the GDPR.

How to reach the administration area

Open the user menu (in the top corner) and select Users to reach the account list, or Settings for the panel with the Groups, System, Invites, Chat moderation, Audit, SSO and other tabs. The tasks in this guide always start from one of those two places.

In this guide

The pages that follow cover each area in detail:

• User management — create and suspend accounts, assign roles, import in bulk and manage groups.
• SSO and directory synchronisation (SCIM) — single sign-on with SAML 2.0 or OIDC and automatic synchronisation of users and groups.
• Security and compliance — two-step verification, passkeys, audit log, GDPR export and encryption.
