Platform Administrator

AppControl supports Mendix platform administrators to automate and control the usage of the Mendix platform in their organization. After performing the , the following are useful features for your role:

Global Policy. The global policy in AppControl checks the state of all deployed Mendix apps to ensure that they are compliant with your standards. After installing AppControl a default set of policy rules is used. Configure the global policy to bring it in line with the needs of your organization (E.g. minimum Mendix versions, naming standards, etc.).

Global Pipelines. Global pipelines can be configured to enforce your global policies, and to ease the build and deployment process for DevOps teams. By default there are no global pipelines, and thus you will need to configure at least one global pipeline if you want teams to use a standardized process for building and deploying apps.

Global Tasks. Global tasks enable you to keep track of manual activities that need to be performed per app (E.g. compliance activities, certificate renewals, etc.). If there are common tasks that must be performed by all app owners or app administrators, create a global task for this need and assign it.

Insights. Insights gives you insight into the Mendix versions and Mendix Marketplace components used by all Mendix apps in your organization. Use Insights to answer questions such as 'Which apps are still using Mendix 8?' or 'Which apps are using the SAML module version older than 3.0?'.

App Groups. As your Mendix landscape grows it can be useful to assign responsibilities for groups of apps to distributed teams. In AppControl you can create app groups for this need. By creating an app group you can give rights to a group administrator to create group policies, group pipelines, and group tasks.

Access Groups. Access groups give you the ability to grant access rights in AppControl to groups of persons to a group of apps. This can be useful if (for instance) you have a group of apps that are managed by an internal or external app management team.
