Identity & Ownership

ModularIoT uses a hierarchical identity model to organize entities and control access.

Identity Hierarchy

Tenant
  └── Organization
        └── Fleet / Group
              └── Asset
                    └── Device

Tenants

Top-level isolation boundary:

• Complete data separation
• Independent configuration
• Separate billing and quotas

Organizations

Business units within a tenant:

• Departmental separation
• Delegated administration
• Shared resources possible

Fleets and Groups

Logical groupings of assets:

• Operational organization
• Rule application scope
• Reporting boundaries

Ownership

Every entity has:

• Owner - Tenant with ultimate control
• Creator - User who created it
• Administrators - Users with management rights
• Operators - Users with operational access

Access Control

Permissions flow down the hierarchy:

• Tenant admins access everything
• Organization admins access their org
• Fleet managers access their fleet
