Organization Settings

Overview

By hovering over the username at the top right hand corner of the FOSSA application, a user may navigate to Settings > Organization to reach the Organization Settings. Here a user may manage Teams, RBAC, Users, Default project settings, and Authentication

General

Here a user may manage general organization settings. Please see the table below for detailed breakdown

Setting NameSetting Description
Organization TitleTitle of organization used in reports such as attribution or SBOMs
Billing EmailEmail used for all billing related communication
Default New User RoleThe default role applied to any new user invited to your organization
Project LabelsLabels allow for adding user-defined metadata on projects. They can be used to filter projects on pages such as Projects, Global issues, Packages, and Global reports.
Internal Component SignaturesSpecify signatures for marking internal component naming conventions. FOSSA will recognize any component that contains these signatures in their names as internal dependencies and will ignore these dependencies
ContributorsEmails a contributor report of detected contributors for analyzed projects, broken into weekly increments

🚧

Internal component signatures

Adding internal component signatures will exclude all packages matching the provided signature in all reports, projects, and issue scans across the entire organization.

Team

Manage new and existing teams including users/members, projects, and default team roles. Please see Teams & Roles (RBAC) for more details.

Roles

Manage default and customer roles for RBAC as well as individual permissions. Please see Teams & Roles (RBAC) for more details.

Users

Manage and invite users to your organization as well as their RBAC & Team associations. Please see Inviting Users for more details

Project

Manage default project settings across your organization. For each settings group, such as Security, Licensing, or Quality settings, you have two options, Save or Propagate settings

Save

By saving changes made to Default Project Settings, any new projects imported into FOSSA will begin using the new Default Project Settings. Any existing projects will maintain their current Default Project Settings.

Propagate Settings

If a user would like to push or "propagate" the current default project settings the user must select propagate settings and select which settings to propagate.

For example a user may want to change security policy settings for all projects without changing the licensing policy used on each project. Here a user would:

  • Select a new security policy and save
  • Select propagate settings and choose override all project to use security policy "Some Security Policy"

Now all existing and new projects will use the new security policy, however any existing projects will continue to use their individual licensing policy.

📘

NOTE

This is a change from the previous Make default or Propagate and Make Default organization settings options. This change allows for granular control for default project settings.

Authentication

Manage authentication settings for your organization including SSO & SAML Identity providers. Please see Single Sign On for more details.
