Overview

When working with Urbi products for business, you will interact with two auxiliary services:

• Platform ID - a one-stop authentication service for users of Urbi products for business.

• Platform Manager - a personal account that you can use to do the following:

  • Configure a role model to manage the access of your organization employees to Urbi products.
  • Manage access keys required for working with Urbi map, navigation, and search APIs.
  • View the statistics of access keys usage.
  • Get to know Urbi services for business in practice using playgrounds.

Authentication

The first step of working with Urbi products is creating a Platform ID account. You will see a corresponding dialog when you attempt to access a product for the first time.

Platform ID allows you to quickly log into Urbi products for business using the Single Sign-On (SSO) solution.

Note

The one-stop authentication service (Platform ID) was released in January, 2025. If you created an account earlier, you do not need to update your credentials: the look of a login dialog is the only thing that has changed for you.

Roles

Platform Manager allows a company to manage the access of their employees to Urbi services for business. The following roles are available for working with the Platform Manager:

• User - can view and edit the personal profile.
• Administrator - manages users: can invite and remove users, change roles of users and other administrators, and edit the company profile.
• Owner - performs the same functions as an administrator but can be only one in a company. The owner role is granted to the first company employee signed up in the Platform Manager. Only the current owner can hand over their role to another employee.

Access to other Platform Manager features (getting keys, viewing statistics, working with playgrounds) is equal between all roles.
