Administrator Guide

Operate Argy securely: IAM, governance (approvals), quotas, audit logs, and deployments.

This guide summarizes the core administration domains in Argy, aligned with the platform's governance-by-design approach.

Identity & Access (IAM)

  • Passwordless-first authentication: WebAuthn/Passkeys (primary), Magic Link (fallback).
  • Enterprise federation: OIDC and SAML 2.0.
  • Device Flow (RFC 8628) for agents and terminals.
  • SCIM for automated user and group provisioning.

Roles & permissions (RBAC)

Argy provides role-based access control. Typical roles include:

  • PLATFORM_ADMIN
  • PLATFORM_ENGINEER
  • PLATFORM_PM
  • PLATFORM_USER
  • COMPLIANCE_APPROVER

Governance & approvals

Argy supports approval policies that trigger human review for sensitive actions.

  • Actions: Create, Update, Delete, Deploy, Publish
  • Resources: Module, Project, Deployment, Policy
  • Required approvals: 1 to 10
  • Auto-approve: Yes / No
  • Status: Active / Inactive

Workflow:

  • Request → Waiting → Approved (execution) or Rejected (with optional comment)
  • Notifications via email and Slack/Teams
  • Full audit trail for every decision

Quotas & usage

LLM usage is governed through:

  • Monthly token allocations by plan
  • Quotas per organization/team
  • Real-time dashboard (consumption, blocked requests, cost per 1K tokens)
  • Alert thresholds (e.g., 80% warning, 90% critical)

Token add-ons can be purchased in 100K-token increments.

Audit logs

  • Every action is logged (who/what/when/resource)
  • Minimum retention: 90 days, exportable as CSV
  • Correlation IDs support distributed tracing and investigations

Deployment models

  • SaaS: AKS (West Europe), managed by Argy
  • Hybrid: SaaS control plane + self-hosted execution agents
  • On‑prem: Kubernetes deployment in your environment (LLM Gateway on-prem available as Enterprise add-on)
