Creating and Managing User Accounts

• 1min to read •

The 'Console Security' area of Syxsense allows you to configure the accounts that have access to the console. Anyone who requires access to the console must have a Syxsense account.

Important Information

We recommend enabling additional two-factor authentication for all accounts. However, this can be enabled or disabled on an individual user basis, if required. For Single Sign-On, please navigate to External Authentication in Settings.

Prerequisites
