Corporate Management is a free module available as part of the "Consulting" plan, that provides additional layers of IT security and analytics for your organisation's overall corporate use of the Elements.cloud application.
It supports the oversight and management of all users and provides visibility of all Spaces in your domain(s). It does not give visibility to the content within those Spaces, but allows a Corporate Management admin to manage them.
You will quickly recognize it as a valuable part of your project staffing and client maintenance activities.

The Corporate Management app allows to:

Suspend and Delete user accounts
Manage user access to spaces individually and promote a user to space admin
Manage user sessions: corporate admins can view and manage all active user sessions in your organisation's domain controlled spaces.
Select and deploy corporate-wide usage/governance policies: Apply governance rules to users on the platform
Manage Space Editors and Space Domain affiliation review and update space editors as well as transfer space ownership to a user from another corporate domain. (Client bases licensing considerations apply)
Default Spaces: Corporate admins you can make spaces the "Default" spaces in your corporate environment, meaning all users are automatically added to it. Best practice is to create an internal corporate space and then assign it as "Default"
Delete Spaces: Corporate Managers cannot delete a Space as this is a very sensitive/irreversible action. Instead Corporate Managers and the Space Owner (Editor) need to collaborate on the deletion as only a Space Editor can delete. The exception is when a Corporate Admin is ALSO a Space Editor assigned to the condemned space.
Display analytics on a number of Spaces by type number of users and number of diagrams-- See below
Corporate Analytics
On your Corporate Management homepage, you can view and filter four charts with your organization's current usage data:
Share of spaces by space type - shows how many spaces of given type are used by your organization
Share of editors by space type - shows how many editors your organization has in different spaces
Share of diagrams by space type - shows how many diagrams your organization has in different spaces
Share of internal and external users - shows how many external users (not members of your domain) have access to your organization's spaces
You can display this data for all verified domains together or by each verified domain individually. You can also switch to historical line graphs and see the same data as it changed through time (filters: one month, three months, six months).
