# Sites and Memberships

> Configure site creation, access ownership, removals, and provider-specific resolution.

Sites creates Mitti sites from source locations. Site Memberships determines which synced users receive access to those sites.

Both sync types are disabled initially. Site Memberships depends on **Sites** and **Users**.

## Where Site Access Comes From

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Employment Hero">
    Sites come from source locations used for the approved rollout. Memberships come from source site access.

    **Default mode:** Initial Primary Only. This seeds first access and leaves ongoing site access managed in Mitti.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Tanda">
    Sites come from Locations. Memberships come from Department staff lists under each Location, or each user's primary report Department if you choose that Location Source.

    **Default mode:** Mirror Source, with Skip Removal off. In the panel, open **Locations** or **Location Memberships**.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Deputy">
    Sites come from active workplace Companies. Memberships combine workplace assignments with each employee's primary Location.

    **Default mode:** Mirror Source, with Skip Removal off. In the panel, open **Locations** or **Location Memberships**. There is no Deputy-specific Location Source selector.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

These are starting defaults. Check the saved mode before enabling the sync, especially where removal is allowed.

Sites has an enable control but no additional general rule editor. Source-to-Mitti site mappings are maintained by the platform and Bravas.

## Shared Settings

### Sync Mode

Available for all three providers. Choose who should own **ongoing access**, not just where the first assignment comes from.

#### Mirror Source

Use this when the source should be authoritative. Missing memberships are added, and access no longer present in the source can be removed unless Skip Removal is on.

For example, moving a person from Location A to Location B can add B and remove A. Confirm the source assignments are complete before allowing removal.

#### Add Only

Use this when the source should add access while your team manages removals in Mitti. Missing memberships are added, but existing access is not removed by this sync.

Moving from Location A to Location B can therefore leave the person with both sites until your team reviews A.

#### Initial Primary Only

Use this when the sync should provide first access only. It adds the first or primary source site **only if the Mitti user has no site memberships**. Later changes remain manually managed in Mitti.

If the person already has any Mitti site membership, this mode does not replace or extend their access from subsequent source changes.

### Skip Removal

**Default:** Off for new Tanda and Deputy configurations; on for Employment Hero's initial-access default.

In **Mirror Source**, turn this on to retain Mitti memberships that disappear from the source. Leave it off only when those removals should be applied. It protects against removals by this integration, not changes made elsewhere.

In **Add Only** and **Initial Primary Only**, it is always on and cannot be switched off. When switching back to Mirror Source, check the saved value instead of assuming removal has been enabled.

<Warning>
  **Mirror source** with removal enabled can remove site access. Confirm that the chosen provider
  records are complete and authoritative before enabling it.
</Warning>

## Tanda Only

### Location Source

**Default:** All Departments. This selector appears only for Tanda Location Memberships.

* **All Departments:** A person receives source Location membership through each Department staff list they belong to. Use this when people legitimately work across multiple Departments or Locations.
* **Primary Report Department:** Use only the person's primary report Department to determine their source Location. Use this when that Department is the intended source of site access.

For example, a person in Departments at Locations A and B may qualify for both under All Departments. If their primary report Department is at A, the second option resolves A only. Whether existing access to B is removed then depends on Sync Mode and Skip Removal.

Employment Hero and Deputy use their own source assignments; this Tanda selector does not apply to them.

## Staged Site Assignment

Bravas can set a managed **site assignment lead days** value for approved staged-provisioning rollouts. It requires Users with staged provisioning, cannot exceed the user pre-start window, and is not exposed as a general client setting. The [current staged-provisioning limitation](/docs/configuration/users#staged-provisioning) also applies here.
