The Bizagi cloud platform has a modular architecture with a combination of services suitable for your intelligent process automation strategy. This section describes the architecture of all services included in the platform.
Users
For those accessing the platform, there are four main roles. Each subscription may have their own independent roles, not mentioned in this section.
Company administrators
These administrators have high privileges and can monitor all the subscriptions and the projects acquired under the company. Admins of any of these cloud environments may grant/revoke admin access to the subscription for others.
Subscription administrators
Users who manage or monitor each independent subscription (Modeler, Studio, Automation) and the cloud-based environments when applicable. In each subscription, administrators can grant/revoke access to projects/models created.
Project/Model owners
Users who create or upload projects/models manage their access rights. For Automation, they can configure environment parameters using the Management Console Web. They can also: apply deployment packages and activate maintenance windows.
End users
Users working daily with designed, documented, built processes and applications. End users access the Process Library or Production environment (the live operating environment). Users' accounts are integrated into an Access and Identity Management system and managed from your side.
Web-Based Portals
All services can be accessed via web-based portals. Depending on the acquired services you can use any of the following portals.

Work Portal |
Portal where the business applications that have been previously automated, are presented to end users. They can work in structured or unstructured processes by creating new cases, completing pending activities, or overall working with the data of the designed business applications.
They can also develop citizen developers' features like Live Processes. |
Automation and Studio Collaboration |
Management Console Web |
In automation, customers can purchase different environments like test, staging, or production. For each environment, administrators can manage the parameters, like authentication, authorization to Work Portal menus, external system parameters, connectors configuration, and review traces in the Management Console Web. |
Automation and Studio Collaboration |
Process Library |
Cloud repository meant to be the central source of information of the Modeler users. As a central cloud repository, its main purpose is to share all the changes made in real-time in the models or processes between all the users of a group or a company. |
Modeler |
Business Insight |
In this portal, BI users can create datasets, populate them using CSV files, or getting access points to consult the information of datasets from reporting tools. |
Business Insights |
Artificial Intelligence |
Users accessing to this portal can define Machine Learning models, experiments and publish them so you can use predictive capabilities in your processes to achieve full intelligent process automation. |
Artificial Intelligence |
Desktop Applications
Bizagi offers a comprehensive set of features for modeling and process automation. Due to the variety of process complexity, Bizagi offers desktop applications where users can model and develop process automation in a robust and reliable way. All models or projects created in these applications are stored in the cloud repository so you can collaborate with globally distributed teams. These applications are included in the respective service. Available applications are:
•Modeler: Bizagi Modeler desktop application is the tool where your team collaborates by modeling, documenting, simulating (paid plans) publishing, and sharing business processes in industry-standard BPMN.
•Bizagi Studio: this application comes with two installers, a server or a portable installer. Bizagi Studio is the tool used in the authoring environment to automate the processes you defined with the Bizagi Modeler. Its easy-to-use wizard guides you through each step to create your complete process model. Steps include defining the data model, the user interface, the business rules, work allocation, and integration with other applications
Additional Services
These services apply for Automation Service and have an extra cost:
•A Disaster Recovery Plan and continuity of operations. For further information see Disaster Recovery. (only applies for Automation service)
•A Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection for integration with on-premises and legacy systems. See integration using VPN. (applies for Automation and Studio Collaboration).
Email features
You are entitled to use Bizagi's emailing service (comes shipped in along with the subscription). This module is configured for all the environments of your subscription.
