Single Sign On

Arize AX supports Single Sign-On via SAML2. Configure your Identity Provider with the following information about the Arize Service:
  • SSO URL / ACS (Assertion Consumer Service) : https://app.arize.com/auth/v2/saml
  • URI / EntityID: https://app.arize.com
  • UserName / NameID format: urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress
If needed for your Identity Provider, Arize SAML metadata.xml can be downloaded from https://app.arize.com/auth/v2/saml/metadata
To configure SAML settings, role mappings, and user provisioning, see the SAML Configuration page.

Role Based Access Control

Arize AX supports full role-based access control. Using organizations and spaces, users can be restricted to only have access to data they are permitted. Your Arize AX account can consist of multiple organizations and spaces. In addition to built-in roles, Arize AX supports fine-grained custom roles that can be assigned at the space or project level for more granular access control.

Account

You are a member of one Arize AX account. An account consists of one or more organizations. Admin - Has full access to all entities in the account. Can manage users, create organizations, manage custom roles, and configure AI provider integrations. Member - Access is determined by organization and space roles.

Developer permission (is_developer) is a user-level flag, independent of organization and space roles, that controls whether a user can create User keys and Service keys. Non-annotator users receive developer permission by default when invited. Account admins can grant or revoke it for any non-annotator user via Account Settings or via PATCH /v2/users/:user_id in the RBAC REST API. Account admins always retain API key access regardless of this flag. Revoking developer permission deletes the user’s existing API keys.

Organizations

Organizations represent a single business unit and help you silo work across different areas of your business. Within your account, you can be a member of multiple Organizations. An Organization may consist of one or more spaces. Admin - Has full access to all entities in the organization, including AI provider integrations. Member - Has partial access at the organizational level. Can create spaces and integration keys. They can only edit or delete integration keys they create. Space access is determined by space role. Read-only Member - Has read-only access to the organization. Cannot create spaces nor integration keys. Public space access is read-only unless added to the space. Private space access is determined by space role.

Spaces

Spaces represent an environment for groups of models. You can be a member of multiple spaces across multiple organizations within your account. Spaces can either be public or private. Public Spaces are visible to all members (regardless of role) of the parent organization. Private spaces are only visible to explicitly invited members of the space. Admin - Has full access to all entities in the space. Member - Has write access to entities associated to models (e.g., monitors) but does not have access to membership management. Read-only Member - Has read-only access to entities in the space. Due to popular customer request, read-only members are still able to run the prompt playground. Annotator - Has access only to assigned items in the labeling queue.

Managing AI provider integrations (creating, updating, deleting) requires Organization Admin or Account Admin access. Space-level roles do not grant AI provider management permissions.
For more granular control over permissions, you can create custom roles and assign them to specific users at the space or project level.

Invite Users

Want to invite team members?
  1. Go to ‘Account Settings’ —> Members —> Add Members
  2. Go to ‘Org Settings’ —> Members —> Add Members
  3. Go to ‘Space Settings’ —> Members —> Add Members
When adding a member, you will select their permission level for your Account, Organization, and Space. You can also invite and manage users programmatically — including listing, updating, and removing users across your account, organizations, and spaces. See the RBAC REST API for the full endpoint reference, or go directly to the interactive API docs.

Troubleshooting Invite Errors

This generic error can be triggered by several conditions:
  • Email already exists in the system — If the email address is associated with an active or inactive user (even in a different account), the invite will be rejected. Check whether the user already has an Arize account with that email.
  • Missing required fields — A role (admin, member, annotator) must be assigned at invite time.
  • SAML misconfiguration — If the email domain matches a configured IdP and the configuration is invalid (e.g., bad metadata), the invite may be blocked. Verify your SAML metadata is correct in SAML Configuration.
If none of the above apply, contact Arize support.
No. If Allow Only SAML Logins is off, invites work the same as for accounts without SSO. Role mappings and the “Sync permissions on each login” setting are login-time features and have no effect on the invite flow.

Configuration Changes

To re-name an organization:
  1. Go to ‘Organization Settings’ —> Config
  2. Go to ‘Space Settings’ —> Config
Note: project names are defined when tracing is set up. They are not configurable in the UI.

JIT User Provisioning

To enable just-in-time user provisioning, it’s recommended to provide an attribute Name or http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name that maps to the full name of the user to properly create the First/Last Name for the user in Arize AX. Arize also supports automated role assignment during JIT provisioning, enabling you to enforce role-based access control. To configure this, you can declare a mapping between the values of a specified SAML attribute from your Identity Provider (idP) and corresponding Arize user roles. For example, if you have an attribute for team/department in your idP (e.g., "Department": "Ads ML Engineering"), you can map that attribute to a specific Space/Org role in Arize AX. Role mappings also support assigning custom roles for fine-grained permissions. These attributes need to be included in the SAML assertion/response. Below is an example configuration:
<saml2:Attribute Name="Department"
                 NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:unspecified">
<saml2:AttributeValue xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                xsi:type="xs:string"
                >Ads ML Engineering</saml2:AttributeValue>
</saml2:Attribute>
Once this configuration is set, Arize AX will automatically assign the appropriate roles when provisioning users via SSO, based on your role mapping. To configure SAML settings, see the SAML Configuration page.
