FAQs

What is a tenant?

A tenant is a client to which a CRO assigned a logical section of the Argus Safety environment within multi-tenancy. Depending on business needs, tenants can use specific data configurations and access distinct Argus Safety modules. However, they cannot access data that belongs to other tenants. Each tenant has a unique identifier in multi-tenancy called enterprise ID.

What is multi-tenancy?

Multi-tenancy is an Argus Safety feature that can be enabled with Single Sign-On to allow CROs to share their environment between multiple independent clients called tenants. The environment is partitioned so that the tenants can access specific Argus Safety modules and use customized data configurations as needed.

In multi-tenant environments, authorized SSO users can review cases and case actions, and manage worklist items that they are responsible for across any number of tenants.

Can I open both the Global Portal homepage and the Argus Safety application in my browser?

Yes, you can open both sites by entering their URL addresses in different tabs in your browser.

Can I open the Argus Safety application a second time for the same or a different tenant?

Yes, you can open Argus Safety a second time for the same or a different tenant. However, the application will open in the same browser window in which the application is already open.

Can I open the Argus Safety application for different tenants?

Yes, you can open the Argus Safety application for different tenants, provided you close the Argus Safety application for the existing tenant before you open it for a new one.

Can I launch different Argus applications in separate browser windows?

Yes, you can launch different Argus applications in separate browser windows. However, if you attempt to open the same Argus application for the same or a different tenant, the application will open in the same browser window in which the application is already opened.

Is there a Japanese version of the Global Portal homepage?

The Japanese version of the Global Portal homepage and related screens is not supported yet. However, the features and functionalities that are specific to Argus Safety Japan and Argus J users apply also to multi-tenancy environments.
