User accounts

You can create the first GravityZone user account during the initial Control Center setup, after deploying the GravityZone appliance. The initial Control Center user account has company administrator role, with full rights over Control Center configuration and network management. From this account you can create all the other user accounts required for the management of your company's network.

This is what you need to know about GravityZone user accounts:

  • To allow other employees of the company to access Control Center, you can create internal user accounts, through Active Directory integration, or enable dynamic access for security groups under Configuration > Active Directory > Access Permissions.

  • You can assign user accounts with different roles, according to their access level in the company.

  • For each user account, you can customize the access to GravityZone features, or to specific parts of the network it belongs to.

  • You can only manage accounts with equal or lesser privileges than your account type.

  • You can create and manage user accounts in the Accounts page.

    User accounts

    Existing accounts are displayed in the table. For each user account, the following information is available:

    • Import from Active Directory - click Synchronize to import users from your Active Directory database.

      Note

      This option is visible only if Active Directory integration exists.

    • Username - the username of the account used to log in to Control Center.

    • Email - the email address assigned to the account used to log in to the Control Center. Reports and important security notifications are sent to this address. Email notifications are sent automatically whenever important risk conditions are detected in the network.

    • Status - indicates if the user still has access to this account.

    • Role - the role assigned to the user. The user role determines the rights assigned to the account.

      Note

      For more information refer to User roles.

    • Services - the security services the user is allowed to manage (Computers, Virtual Machines, and Mobile Devices).

    • 2FA - indicates if two factor authentication is enabled for this account.

      Note

      For more information refer to Managing two-factor authentication for user accounts.

    • Access Rule - indicates if the account was created through an access permission rule. Manually created user accounts will display N/A.

      Note

      For more information refer to Managing multiple user accounts using Access Permissions.
