Isolated Organizations: An easier way to do user isolation
Blog post from PropelAuth
When building a B2B product, a critical architectural decision involves defining how to separate customers, often referred to as "organizations" or "tenants," which establishes clear user group boundaries. PropelAuth offers flexible organizational structures similar to platforms like GitHub and Slack, where users can belong to multiple organizations with role-based access control and customizable policies. However, for scenarios requiring stronger user isolation, such as distinct identity management for enterprise customers or maintaining separate accounts for different organizational contexts, isolated organizations provide complete separation by ensuring users can only exist within one organization. This model is particularly beneficial for enterprises needing strict data boundaries and simplified Single Sign-On (SSO) processes. Despite these varying needs, both standard and isolated organizations can coexist within the same project, allowing companies to adapt their isolation levels according to customer requirements and seamlessly transition between organizational models through PropelAuth's dashboard or API.
