Check out the information below to learn more about Enterprise Plan Manager.
Enterprise Plan Manager (EPM) makes adoption easier by aligning Smartsheet to a company’s organizational structure. EPM enables large organizations to centrally manage and govern multiple Smartsheet subscriptions while maintaining each individual team’s granular control over their individual plan and billing.
Enterprise Plan Manager Overview
As your organization grows, you might find that different departments have independently rolled out Smartsheet to manage their work. Until now, to centrally enforce security and governance controls, across all of your Smartsheet plans, you had to merge multiple plans into a single plan and then set the desired security controls in that plan.
Now, you can use Enterprise Plan Manager (EPM) to ensure that all your organization’s Smartsheet plans follow your security, governance, and compliance requirements.
Use EPM to create a plan hierarchy with two levels:
- Main plan: This plan sets the policies and adds plans to the family.
- Managed plan: These plans inherit governance policies from the main plan.
You can only manage other Enterprise plans with EPM. You must upgrade any Business or Pro plans to Enterprise ormerge them into your main planbefore you can manage them with EPM.
Designate your main plan
通常,您的IT部门要么使用寡糖r existing plan or create a Smartsheet Enterprise plan to serve as the main plan. This plan controls authentication, user provisioning, domain validation. From this plan’sAdmin Center，you’ll set your policies and add the other plans in your organization to the family.
Access Enterprise Plan Manager through the Admin Center
Contact Smartsheet Customer Success Manager or Technical Account Manager to designate your main plan.
UseOrganization Viewin your main plan to perform plan management tasks. To manage users in your IT team, use theMain Planview. Switch between views at the bottom of the left menu inAdmin Center.
Validate your domains
Once the main plan admin validates a domain, Smartsheet identifies all plans with a main contact whose email address matches that domain. Any plan that’s not the main plan can become a managed plan and will inherit settings from the main plan. The process doesn’t affect anyone’s plans; it simply shows you who’s using Smartsheet on your validated domains.
You can validate multiple domains.
Configure authentication
In EPM, configure the sign-in method everyone in your organization will use to access Smartsheet. If you are using SAML as a sign-in method, you can set aUser Movement Policyso users end up allocated to the most appropriate plans for their roles.
Add managed plans to your family
Adding a plan to the family automatically makes that plan a managed plan and disables that plan’s ability to configure UAP/domains and authentication. The managed plan admin doesn’t have to take any specific action to join the family; it happens automatically when the plan is managed by EPM. It’s a best practice to let managed plan system administrators know you’re bringing them into compliance.
Set up User Auto Provisioning (UAP)
Now, any time a new user on your validated domains logs into Smartsheet, they’ll automatically be provisioned to your main plan. Optionally, you can set aUser Movement Policyso users end up allocated to the most appropriate plans for their roles.
That’s it! Now your entire organization uses the policies set in the main plan.
