User Access

Ivanti Endpoint Security supports the establishment of security policies that conform to your network needs. Two mechanisms determine security access: Windows-based authentication and Ivanti Endpoint Security access rights.

Windows Authentication

Access to Ivanti Endpoint Security is controlled by the Windows operating system authentication of local groups.

Users who have access to Ivanti Endpoint Security are members of the local Windows group, PLUS Admins. Members of this group have specific registry and file permissions to use the Ivanti Endpoint Security application.

Ivanti Endpoint Security Access Rights

After a user logs in to Ivanti Endpoint Security, the system authenticates the user based on their assigned role. If a user does not have access to a given Ivanti Endpoint Security page or function, an access denied message displays, or the feature is simply unavailable.

On the Users and Roles page, the Users tab is where you create and manage users, and the Roles tab is where you create and manage Ivanti Endpoint Security roles.
