# Platform

Harness Platform provides the shared foundation for all Harness modules. Manage user access, authentication, secrets, delegates, governance, and audit trails from a single control plane. With built-in role-based access control (RBAC), single sign-on (SSO), and policy enforcement, Harness Platform gives your organization the security and visibility it needs to scale DevOps across teams and environments.
