Imagine your company as a secure building where everyone needs the right keys to enter the right rooms
Just like a modern office building has different departments working together to keep everything running smoothly, PlainID has three "departments" (we call them Workspaces) that work together to keep your digital world secure.
Identity Workspace - Knows who everyone is
Authorization Workspace - Decides who can go where
Orchestration Workspace - Connects everything together
"The Reception Desk"
Just like a reception desk keeps a list of all employees, visitors, and contractors, this workspace keeps track of everyone who needs access to your systems.
Like a security office that decides which key cards open which doors, this workspace creates the rules about who can access what.
"The Control Center"
Like a building's control center that manages elevators, HVAC, and security cameras from different vendors, this workspace connects PlainID to all your other systems.
Sarah from Marketing tries to access the sales report
Identity Workspace confirms: "Yes, this is Sarah from Marketing"
Authorization Workspace checks: "Can Marketing access sales reports?"
If yes, Orchestration Workspace tells the system: "Let Sarah in!"
Instead of managing access separately in each of your systems (email, databases, cloud storage, etc.), PlainID gives you one place to manage it all.
Without PlainID: Like having different keys for every door, different passwords for every system, and different rules everywhere - confusing and risky!
With PlainID: Like having one smart key card that knows exactly which doors you should access, automatically updated when your role changes - simple and secure!
