For more explanation on how to successfully model an ecosystem/federation to fully reflect its needs and requirements, see the Modeling Ecosystems article.

Prerequisites​

  • Domains available and configured within the platform.

    Add a Domain if there is not one available already.

  • Get an Access Token with the directory:website scope - if you want to create or manage an authority using Connect's APIs.

The newly created authority is now linked to the organisation and appears in the list at Reference Data > Authorities.

Authorities created from within an Organisation (see above) can have their Authority Code and Authority URI edited directly from the Organisation's Authority tab, or disabled/re-enabled from there.

  1. Select Reference Data > Authorities.

  2. Select the authority from the list of available authorities.

  2. Select the Mapping tab.

  3. Provide the name of the Domains or select one you wish to map to the authority and save.
