Overview

Zluri now discovers and displays individual instances for each of your connected applications. An instance represents a separate environment, tenant, or region of the same app. For example, Azure AD-US, Azure AD EU, and Azure AD Germany are three distinct instances of Azure AD.

Previously, Zluri managed access at the application level only. If your organization ran multiple environments of the same app, there was no way to view or manage them separately. This release surfaces each instance individually so you can assign owners, track active accounts, and take actions (edit, merge, or archive) on a per-instance basis.

Zluri discovers instances through direct integrations and SSOs. Connect your apps through a direct integration or SSO to start seeing instance data.

What are instances?

An instance is a discrete deployment of an application within your organization. The same application can have multiple instances across different regions, tenants, or environments. Each instance has its own set of accounts, roles, and sources.

Examples of instances for a single app:

• Azure AD-US (US tenant)
• Azure AD EU (EU region)
• Azure AD Germany (German tenant)

Zluri discovers instances automatically when you connect an app through a direct integration or SSO. Each discovered instance appears separately in the Instances tab of the app page.

View all instances

Navigate to Applications > Instances in the left navigation to see all discovered instances across every connected application in your organization.

The global instances table displays the following columns.

Select an instance name to open its detail page.

Row-level actions (Edit Instance, Merge Instance, View Instance, Archive Instance) are only available from the per-app Instances tab. Navigate to the app page and select Instances from the sidebar to take actions on a specific instance.

View instances for an app

Navigate to the app page and select Instances from the sidebar to see all instances for that specific app.

The instances table displays the following columns.

Use the All Instances dropdown at the top left to see the total instance count and switch between viewing all instances or a specific one.

View instance details

Select an instance name from the global or per-app instances table to open its detail page. From the per-app Instances tab, you can also select View Instance from the row Actions menu. Summary cards at the top display Active Accounts, Inactive Accounts, and Total Accounts.

The instance detail page has three sidebar tabs.

Overview tab

The Account Types section groups accounts by source. Each source entry shows the source name, source type badge, sync status, and account count. Select All Accounts or By Role to switch how the account list below it is filtered.

The Instance Details panel shows a read-only summary of the instance's current status, tags, and ownership: Instance Status, Tags, Primary Owner, IT Owner, and Finance Owner.

Roles tab

The Roles tab lists all roles assigned within this instance. The following columns appear in the roles table.

Accounts tab

The Accounts tab shows the full account list scoped to this instance. The following columns appear in the accounts table.

Edit an instance

Navigate to the app page and select Instances from the sidebar. Select the three-dot menu next to an instance and select Edit Instance to open the Edit Instance side sheet.

The side sheet has two sections: Instance Details for required fields and Additional Details for optional fields.

Steps

1. Select the three-dot menu (Actions) next to the instance you want to edit.
2. Select Edit Instance.
3. Update the Instance Name field. This field is mandatory.
4. Select an Owner from the dropdown, or leave it unassigned.
5. Expand Additional Details to set optional fields: IT Owner, Finance Owner, and Tags.
6. Select Save.

Merge instances

Navigate to the app page and select Instances from the sidebar to start a merge.

Merging consolidates a source instance into a destination instance. All accounts, metadata, and configurations from the source move to the destination. The destination instance retains its own metadata: name, status, and owner.

The Merge Instance modal shows the source instance pre-selected on the left and a searchable list of available destination instances on the right. The arrow between the two panels indicates the direction of the merge: the source merges into the selected destination.

Select the destination and confirm

Steps

1. Select the three-dot menu (Actions) next to the instance you want to merge into another.
2. Select Merge Instance.
3. Review the Source Instance card on the left. This is the instance that merges into the destination and is archived after the merge.
4. Search for and select the destination instance from the list on the right.
5. Select Next to proceed.
6. Confirm the merge.

After the merge completes, Zluri sends a notification to confirm the merge.

Select View Merged Instance to open the destination instance, or select Go to Application to return to the app page.

After the merge completes, the following outcomes apply.

Archive an instance

Navigate to the app page and select Instances from the sidebar. Archiving removes an instance from the active list. Zluri no longer allows any actions on archived instances.

Steps

1. Select the three-dot menu (Actions) next to the instance you want to archive.
2. Select Archive Instance.
3. Confirm the archive action.

Constraints

The following constraints apply to instances.

• Zluri discovers instances through direct integrations and SSOs. Apps connected through agents or other discovery methods do not surface instance data.
• Zluri does not support optimization or license counting at the instance level. License management continues at the app and user level.
• Merging instances is irreversible. Review the source and destination carefully before confirming.
