Overview
As a Torii admin, you can provide the different application owners access to Torii from which they can View, Control, and Manage the applications under their responsibility.
| If required, the App owners' scopes can be customized (Like accessing Applications, Users, and Contracts). Currently, this ability is enabled from Torii's backend. To access this option, please contact our Support team. |
Note that External users can not access Torii via the App owner access mechanism.
Designated guidance for app owners is located under The Application Owners category in our Help Center. There, they can find targeted information for app management.
Additionally:
When first accessing Torii, the app owners will get a popup referring them to relevant help articles.
Also, while using the Torii app, clicking the "help" icon will direct them to this category.
Who is an app owner?
- An app owner is a company employee assigned to and in charge of a SaaS application used by the organization.
- There can be more than one app owner per application. In this case, you can assign whether that person is the primary app owner or not.
- An app owner does not have to be a Torii member or have access to the Torii console.
- App owners can be set for significant apps such as Netsuite or Hibob, owned by finance or HR, or an application that serves only a few users in the organization.
- Currently, app owners don't have permission to remove themselves from ownership or assign another employee as an app owner.
-
Read more about assigning app owners in the "Assign Application Owners" article.

The invitation includes the application logos the owner is assigned to and a link to the Torii environment, where the app owners can view and take action on the application assigned to them.
Note that the email logo can be customized.Users who are already app owners and have access to the Torii console that are assigned additional app ownership will not receive an additional invitation email.
- Torii Invitation Emails are sent from the user who assigned the app's owner.
- When turning on the "App owners access to Torii" toggle, all assigned app owners will receive an invitation email from the user who turned on the toggle.

An option to re-invite users is available for PENDING users (users who have not followed the log-in to Torii via email).
What can an App owner do?
App Owners who are not Torii Members will be able to view only information about applications they own.

App Owners who are also a Torii member with a defined role:
- Will be able to keep the existing Torii experience and permissions for all Torii pages outside of the single app page.

SCIM based provisioning
The IT should provision app owners with access to Torii as employees (no user type in the SCIM attribute).

Please note that existing Torii users should not be re-provisioned as employees. No additional access is required.
Non-SCIM-based Provisioning
IT should add App Owners to the Torii provisioned group in the SSO provider.
You can use the CSV download option on the App owner page to get the most updated list of app owners.
