Who sees what in a house ​

Available now A house is a shared bus: its connections exchange payloads. What

the gateway decided about each connection's messages stays with the organisation that owns the app. Every page of the portal applies the same rules, per connection.

The rules ​

WhoSeesDoesn't see
The vendorIts own connections' decisions in full, in every house it's in, with the rule behind every refusal; the payloads its own consumer connections receive; its own credentialsOther vendors' decisions; the publisher's own apps' decisions
The publisherEverything of its own apps; every accepted message's payload in its story timeline; counts per vendor connection: accepted, refused, failed and duplicate messages, and when each was last seen; what each vendor connection asked for and was grantedA vendor's rule ids, refused messages, paths and credentials (a results statement the vendor shares shows its test results, not these); anything in the vendor's own workspace
Other vendors in the housePayloads of the messages their consumers are grantedEach other's decisions and credentials
RNDMetadata: outcomes, counts and rule ids. Under the house's support access, also what the house's own viewers see, payloads included, read-onlyPayloads, unless an owner of the house grants support access; a vendor's refused messages and credentials, and anything in a vendor's own workspace, even then

Page by page, in a house ​

What the publisher's members see on each page of the house:

PageThe publisher's own appsA vendor's connection
OverviewCounts, and the top rejection rulesCounts per connection and when it was last seen, marked "counts only"
ActivityEvery decision, with its rulesCounts per connection only, below the list
Story timelineAccepted messages and refusals, with their rulesAccepted messages (a shared bus); refusals counted per connection
Apps and credentialsApps, grants and credentialsApp, organisation, status and the grants you gave: never its credential
Consumer connectionsQueues, depths, credentials and actionsApp, organisation, status, grants and queue names; that a replay or redrive happened, when, its range or count and how it ended: never its depths, credential, messages or who made it
First steps checklistCounts toward the checklistNever counts toward it
Your house: vendors—Invitations, vendors, requests, grants and status: never who at the vendor acted
Your house: skillsYour configured instances and their valuesWhich of its connections runs each one, and what it's subscribed to. The vendor's executor reads the configured instances bound to it, with their values, and no others
CoverageIts apps' traffic counts and the statements it shares with itself from its workbenchTraffic counts per connection and family, and only the results statements the vendor shared with your organisation: see Reading the coverage matrix
RehearsalEvery step the rehearsal or a stand-in played, with the bus's verdict and ruleThe part its connection played: counts of accepted, refused and duplicate messages in its step's window, never its rules or messages
Notification emailsSent about your own connectionsCounts only: it went silent, came back, or too many of its messages were refused (vendor connection emails), never which rules

What the vendor sees, from its own vendor workspace, on Houses you're in: its connections in each house, what it asked for and was granted, their credentials, its replays and redrives, and Your activity here: its own decisions in full. Its vendor workspace also gets notification emails about its own connections in the house, with the rules behind its refusals: never about anyone else's.

RND support access ​

Available now An owner of the house can let RND read it for a set time, 7 days

at most, from Ask RND in the portal. While it lasts, RND engineers see the house's pages as one of its viewers does, including the payloads in its story timeline, and can't change anything. The house's consent covers the house's own view only: RND's pages show a vendor's connections as counts, as the house's do, and nothing of a vendor's own workspace is included. Every page RND opens is recorded in the house's audit log, and the house's owners are emailed when access starts and when it ends. See Ask RND.

The audit log ​

Joining, requests, grants, credentials, the start of a replay or redrive, and disconnections are recorded in both organisations' audit logs. The house's log names the vendor organisation for what the vendor did, never its people or their IP addresses; the vendor's own log has the full record, and the same the other way round.

When a vendor leaves ​

The publisher keeps seeing the counts of the vendor's past connections until they age out of its 7-day views. The vendor's connections there are disconnected, and the house is no longer listed on its Houses you're in page.
