Administration & Governance

New role: Cost Model Manager

To provide greater flexibility in platform administration while maintaining strong governance controls, Yarken now introduces a new Cost Model Manager role.

This role is designed for users responsible for managing cost models, configurations, and related administrative activities without requiring full user administration privileges. Cost Model Managers can perform most cost model administration tasks while user provisioning and access management remain restricted to designated administrators.

  • Delegated administration with controlled access
    Empower teams to manage cost model configurations without granting full administrative permissions.
  • Improved governance and security
    User creation, user management, and access permission administration remain restricted, helping organizations maintain appropriate separation of duties.
  • Support for scalable operations
    Allows organizations to distribute administrative responsibilities more effectively while maintaining compliance and control.

This enhancement helps organizations balance operational efficiency, security, and governance by enabling broader participation in cost model management without expanding access to sensitive user administration functions.
