A realm is a logically segregated domain associated with an account. Each account can contain multiple apps, but certain Quickbase capabilities exist on the realm-level, including pipelines and service accounts.
One company can have multiple realms. In special circumstances, a realm may contain multiple accounts. Having multiple accounts in a single realm is not suggested. Realms set up this way have additional product limitations.
The Realm Summary page provides an overview of the realm's properties, list of realm admins, and list of accounts.
This menu is accessible by Realm Admins in the Admin Console.
Realm-level controls
-
Create custom branding. Customize the look and feel of Quickbase pages to match your company's branding, including displaying your company's logo and colors in the header of each page.
-
Implement custom password policies. Set your own specific password policies across all apps. You can:
-
Set password length
-
Require that users use both upper and lower case letters.
-
Require users to change passwords regularly by setting a password expiration period. You can require a change every 60, 90, 120, or 360 days.
-
-
Automate general user access levels. Assign each user an approval status to set some overarching access controls. For example, you can limit app access to members of your own company.
-
Control user sessions. You can force a timeout after a certain period of time. You can also require that a user enter their user name and password each time they access your realm. You can set inactivity timeouts for active user sessions.
- Deny user access to all your Quickbase accounts. With realm-level controls, you can deny a user's Quickbase access to all corporate accounts simultaneously.
- Set up service accounts. Assign multiple users within a realm to a service account to access apps, pipelines, and solutions, or make changes using the same account credentials.
-
Integrate with SAML. If your organization uses SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language), Quickbase can accept authentication sent from these systems by integrating with SAML.
Note: Realm policies are not applicable when an external authentication system has been implemented through SAML.
You can access apps in multiple realms, using the same user account and/or user name. You may need to sign in with a different password in each realm because the password requirements could differ in each.
