The dashboard of the SaaS Administrator is used to quickly view the main information regarding the SaaS sites of a WEBDEV Application Server. It includes the following elements: - Administration links: these links suggest the most frequent actions.
- A chart displaying the 5 SaaS sites with the greatest number of assigned licenses.
- The list of SaaS sites.
Operating mode of the SaaS model The diagram below presents the six main elements involved in the SaaS model: These elements are: | | | Element | Role |
|---|
| SaaS site | The SaaS site is a WEBDEV site deployed on a WEBDEV Application Server. It is associated with a SaaS web service used to control the site. | | Service | The Services are the different features of a site. | | Client Account | A Client Account represents a company that uses the SaaS site.
Each Client Account includes its own database and its own custom version of the SaaS site (logo, graphics, etc.). | | User | The Users are the members of the company represented by the Client Account.
The users are the physical persons who are using the SaaS site. | | Pricing | A Pricing represents a set of Services accessible by a User.
A Pricing can include one or more Services.
A Service can be proposed in one or more Pricing. | | Subscription | A Subscription represents the availability of a number of licenses for a Pricing (and therefore of the associated Services) for a User Account.
Then, these licenses must be be distributed among the Users.
The Subscriptions are used to monitor the use of the SaaS site and the invoicing. |
Main menu of SaaS administrator The main menu gives access to all the management operations: - Dashboard: Back to the WEBDEV Application Server SaaS sites overview.

Using the SaaS administrator To exploit a SaaS site, the following operations must be performed: - Deploying the SaaS site on a WEBDEV Application Server.
For more details, see: Deploying a site.
During the deployment, you have the ability to specify the address of the SaaS web service that will handle the site.
The SaaS web service can be located on the same application server as the site (by default) or on a different application server.
The operations for SaaS configuration will be performed thereafter via the SaaS Administrator located on the same application server as the web service. - Declaring the site in the SaaS Administrator.
For more details, see Adding a SaaS site into the Administrator. - Declaring the services proposed by the site in the SaaS Administrator.
For more details, see Managing a SaaS site in the administrator. - Creating the pricing for the site in the SaaS Administrator.
For more details, see Managing a SaaS site in the administrator. - Adding the client accounts into the SaaS Administrator.
For more details, see Adding a SaaS client account. - Adding one or more users for the SaaS client accounts.
For more details, see Managing the SaaS client accounts. - Subscribing the SaaS client accounts to the pricing of the SaaS site and assigning some licenses.
For more details, see Managing the SaaS subscriptions.
Note: If you propose to send the security code to the user (in case of forgotten password), it is necessary to set the SMTP email server associated with the SaaS administrator.. This configuration can be performed: - programmatically with SaaSAdminConfigureSMTP.
- in the SaaS administrator, via the "SMTP configuration" link found in the dashboard.
