Corteza Overview

Corteza is a self-hosted cloud platform for your work. The core of Corteza consists of a low code environment (like Salesforce Lightning) for rapidly and securely delivering records-based management solutions. In particular, Corteza has already delivered feature complete alternatives to Salesforce CRM and Salesforce Service Cloud. The Corteza platform also includes Enterprise Messaging (like Slack) and a Unified Workspace for building and accessing your software ecosystem.

Corteza is and will always be free and open source software, developed in a Foundation context. Built predominantly in Golang (backend) and Vue.js (frontend)m delivered as a cloud-friendly architecture and inspired by market-leading UX, Corteza is for any organisation that values control of their critical software infrastructure and data.

Corteza is outward looking, supporting mass adopted protocols and standards. It embraces market leading and popular technology and delivers a secure platform from which to engage with it. Choose the third party software ecosystem your organisation needs to operate smoothly and manage its access from within Corteza .

Corteza aims to be indisputably trustworthy in its motivations and in its approach to design, development and maintenance of the platform. Organisations should feel that their chosen digital work platform is always under their control, always protected and always developed in their best interests.

Authentication makes heavy use of the OpenID Connect Protocol (OIDC). “Login with Google” and “Login with Github” are enabled by default. However, the backend support for OIDC is extensive. For more information, see (reference)

Authentication can also be extended to include support for the DAASI Didmos Suite, which includes support for the PrivacyIDEA suite of Multi-factor Authentication protocols.

Corteza includes a fine-grained RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) system. Role creation is unlimited with users being able to inhabit multiple roles simultaneously, if required. Permissions can be set for across the full spectrum ranging from general access to field level read and update activities for individual fields.
