Overview
The Security section in Settings manages identity and access for your Prizm organization. Navigate to Settings → Security to access this section.- SAML/SSO
- Access
The SAML/SSO tab configures single sign-on (SSO) using SAML 2.0 and automated user provisioning via SCIM.
Click Update Configuration to save changes.
SSO Provider Configuration
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Toggle to enable or disable SSO for the organization. |
| Select SSO Provider | The identity provider to use. Currently supports Azure Active Directory. |
| Entity ID | The unique identifier for your Prizm service provider, provided to your IdP. |
| Sign In URL | The IdP’s SAML sign-in endpoint URL. |
| ACS URL | Assertion Consumer Service URL — the Prizm endpoint that receives SAML assertions from the IdP. |
| SCIM URL | The Prizm SCIM endpoint for automated user provisioning and deprovisioning. |
| Federation File | Upload the XML federation metadata file from your IdP (max 5 MB). |
SCIM automates user provisioning — members added or removed in your identity provider are automatically reflected in Prizm. Users provisioned via SCIM appear with SCIM as their Created Source in the Member list.
The Access tab manages all organization-level access controls — who has access, what they can do, and how they are organized. It is divided into four sub-sections: Member, Group, Role, and Permission Set.
- Member
- Group
- Role
- Permission Set
The Member section lists all users in your Prizm organization. From here you can invite new members, edit user details inline, view audit and activity logs per user, and remove members.
Custom roles defined in the Role tab also appear in the role dropdown when assigning a role to a member.
Member table
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| The user’s email address. Primary identifier — not editable after invite. | |
| First Name | User’s first name. Click to edit inline. |
| Last Name | User’s last name. Click to edit inline. |
| Role | The role assigned to this user. Click the dropdown to change the role inline without opening a separate form. |
| Status | Checkbox — checked means the account is active. Uncheck to deactivate the user without deleting them. |
| MFA | Checkbox indicating whether multi-factor authentication is enabled for this user. |
| SSO | Checkbox indicating whether the user authenticates via SSO. |
| Created Source | How the user was added — MANUAL (invited directly in Prizm) or SCIM (provisioned automatically via your identity provider). |
| Action | Per-row actions: Audit Log, Activity Log, Delete. |
Adding a member
Click the Add button at the top of the Member section to invite a new user to your organization. Enter the user’s email address and assign an initial role. An invitation is sent to the email address. The user appears in the Member list with MANUAL as the Created Source once they accept.Users provisioned through SCIM are added automatically when a user is assigned to the Prizm application in your identity provider. You do not need to invite them manually — they appear in the Member list with SCIM as the Created Source.
Editing a member
All editable fields support inline editing directly in the table:- First Name / Last Name — click the cell to edit and press Enter or click away to save.
- Role — click the Role cell to open a dropdown and select a new role. The change takes effect immediately.

Custom roles appear alongside built-in roles in the member and group role dropdowns.To edit a custom role, click Edit in the Action column. Update the name, description, or permission set assignments and save. To delete a custom role, click Delete — members and groups currently assigned this role will need to be reassigned.Built-in roles (Owner, Steward, User) can be edited but not deleted. Custom roles support both Edit and Delete.
Permission Sets define the granular permissions available to roles — controlling exactly what actions each role can perform across every resource in Prizm. Prizm ships with 12 built-in permission sets covering 1,451 configurable permissions.
Permission matrix
The Permission Set view is a matrix where:- Rows are individual resource/action pairs (e.g., ASSET → Create, METRIC AND QUERIES → Approve)
- Columns are the permission sets
- Each cell is a toggle checkbox — checked means the permission is granted for that set, unchecked means it is denied

Creating a custom permission set
Click the Add button to create a new permission set. Give it a name, then use the permission matrix to toggle on the specific resource/action permissions this set should grant. Assign the new permission set to a role in the Role tab to make it active.Permission sets are assigned to roles, not directly to users. To apply a permission set, assign it to a role and then assign that role to the relevant members or groups.
Use the TYPE column filter at the top of the matrix to filter permissions by category, making it easier to configure a focused permission set without scrolling through all 1,451 entries.
