Administering IBM Jazz means constantly juggling between scattered interfaces: managing project members, assigning licences, configuring Active Directory access, publishing widgets. Every operation requires navigating complex screens, often reserved for highly technical profiles.
Syncheo Jazz Admin brings all these operations together in a single, clear, and accessible web application. Connected to your corporate directory (Active Directory), it lets your administrators stay in control — effortlessly.
The main navigation bar with its three spaces — Users, Licences, Widgets — and the Jazz platform connection indicator.
User management
The Users section offers three complementary views to give you complete control over access to your Jazz platform.
Project view
See at a glance the full list of members in each Jazz project area: who has access, what role they hold, and what their status is. No more back-and-forth in the native admin interface — all information is grouped, filterable, and immediately readable.
Jazz project member list: name, role, and status visible at a single glance.
User view
Search for a team member and instantly retrieve the list of all their projects and memberships across all your Jazz applications. Ideal when offboarding, handling internal moves, or conducting access audits.
User-centred view: all Jazz projects and associated roles in a single search.
Active Directory mapping
Configure the correspondences between your Active Directory groups and Jazz roles — at project or team level. Once the mapping is set, trigger a synchronisation on demand or schedule a daily automatic sync. Access rights automatically follow changes in your corporate directory.
Active Directory mapping configuration: each AD group is linked to its Jazz role, with manual or automatic synchronisation.
Licence management
The Licences section provides complete visibility into Jazz licence consumption — in real time and over time.
Available licences
A summary dashboard displays, for each Jazz licence type, the total number allocated, the number currently in use, the number still available, and expiry dates. No more hunting for this information across multiple scattered reports.
Licence dashboard: totals, current usage, and availability by type, with expiry dates.
Licences by user
Search for a user and see all their assigned licences in seconds. Useful for validating an assignment, preparing an offboarding, or responding to an audit.
A team member’s licence detail: assigned types and statuses consultable instantly.
Consumption tracking
Evolution charts let you visualise licence usage over time — over the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days — by licence type or by user. Data is collected automatically and continuously, with no manual intervention required.
Licence consumption charts over time: spot usage peaks, anticipate needs, and optimise allocations.
AD mapping — Licences
Associate each Jazz licence type with an Active Directory group. When group members change, licences are redistributed automatically. You maintain full control over costs without any manual management.
Mapping between Jazz licences and AD groups: assignments automatically follow changes in your directory.
Widget management
The Widgets section centralises the catalogue of custom components published across the Jazz ecosystem.
Add new widgets, edit existing ones, enable or disable their availability, and publish them to all your Jazz users — all from a simple editing form. Your teams have the right tools in their dashboards without depending on technical intervention for every update.
Widget catalogue management: editing form and list of active widgets published on the Jazz platform.
