Masters are key-value pairs that can be defined for the entire tenant. The key(name) in this context refers to the label to be shown on the Cymmetri User Interface, and the value is the backend identifier used to reference this field in various processes, rules, and policies defined in the Cymmetri platform.
Cymmetri platform allows for configuring several masters in the system, the major classification among which are Global masters (which allow for creating master key-value pairs that may be used for various situations, such as creating a new department, designation, and other custom attributes for users in the system) and Zone masters (which are network configurations that may be used to whitelist or blacklist user access onto the platform as well as act as a source for adaptive Multi-factor authentication).
These are system-wide key-value pairs primarily used to setup key-value pairs referring to various masters as given below:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Country | Country key-value pairs are stored in the system, and are available as drop-downs wherever needed in the system - User attributes, Policies and other mappings. |

Department | Department is used as one of the conditions while defining authentication policies and as an input in the rule engine, and also as a user attribute. |
