Admin Users

Overview

The Admin Users have the ability to grant access to the management console for Active Directory users. The Security Officer or Administrator can easily assign one of the following roles to any Active Directory user to provide them with access to the management console:

  • Security Officer

  • Administrator

  • L1 Support User

  • Monitor

Note

  • Only Security Officers and Administrators have the authority to grant access to the management console.
  • Also, it is important to note that an Administrator cannot assign the Security Officer role to any user since the Security Officer role comes with higher privileges than an Administrator.
  • Policy creation, modification, and monitoring can be performed from any HySecure node. Use the node's direct IP address (not cluster virtual IP) when performing:
    • Any activity that requires HySecure Gateway state changes (Configuration ↔ Run mode)
    • Cluster configuration or management tasks

The HySecure management console is now accessible from any device that supports HTML5 browsers. Previously, it could only be accessed via the HySecure client or Workspace client on Windows-based devices. Active Directory users will now have access to the management console, although low-security applications will not be visible or accessible during Configuration State.

Important

Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all Active Directory users accessing the HySecure management console.
