Tenant Enforcement

The switch that turns on strict, per-officer jurisdiction and role-scope checking for your tenant — platform-admin only, and treated as a security-sensitive change in both directions.

Audience: platform administrators Part of the Authority guide set

What this guide covers: what Tenant Enforcement actually controls, and why both enabling and disabling it go through a deliberate, reason-required flow.

Only a platform super_admin can change this configuration. An ordinary Authority Administration user can view the current state on this page, but every action is gated to platform super admins.
Two switches

Two independent switches

Found at Authority Administration → Tenant Enforcement. Two toggles, each with its own three-row status table:

  • Direct-Jurisdiction Enforcement — strict per-officer jurisdiction checking.
  • Role-Scope Enforcement — strict per-role scope checking.

Each shows three layers: Environment capability (whether it's even permitted in this deployment), Tenant configuration (whether this tenant has opted in), and Effective (whether it's actually active right now — which can read false even if you've opted in, if the environment capability itself isn't permitted).

Enabling

Enabling enforcement

Enabling either one requires running its migration readiness report first. Direct-Jurisdiction Enforcement's report buckets every officer into: already direct, copy from institution, needs review (ambiguous operational), needs review (conflicting), or would lose all access — and activation is blocked until conflicts are resolved. The server re-verifies this regardless of what the client-side report says, so there's no way to force it through a stale preview.

Disabling

Disabling enforcement

Disable on either switch requires a reason and a confirmation dialog — it's framed deliberately as a security-sensitive rollback, not a harmless reset, because disabling either one widens what officers across the tenant can see.
