Privileged Identity Management

Privileged Identity Management provides control over what information can be viewed and accessed by certain users. Privileged Identity Management minimises the number of people who have access to secure information and resouces which reduces the chance of malicious access or unauthorised users inadvertantly impacting something they don't know how to use.

With Privileged Identity Management, only certain Administrators can access features and users. It allows for certain Administrators to be able to assign roles to other Administrators and Users in the dashboard that allow or restrict them from certain features in the dashboard. For example, a Reader role can be given to a user that is permitted to view the content in the dashboard, but not able to alter anything. This can also be narrowed down to only being able to view/alter specific categories within the dashboard, e.g. An Administrator that can only view and alter users and groups, cannot alter SSO settings or Login Themes.

Privileged Identity Management is managed via Admin roles in the Cloudwork Dashboard.

This is a list of the various types of admins you can create along with managing their permissions within the dashboard. You can choose from the built in admin roles or create your own.

There is also the ability to make a Limited Admin that allows you to customise a role for specific tasks. For example, making a role that specifically allows an Admin to log in, View Users and Change their Passwords when required but no other access would look something like this:

You can also assign these users to specific OUs to only allow them to Change Passwords for specific OUs. When they log into the dashboard they cannot access or see any content other than the users they've been allowed to view and the password change menu.
