MDR users

The Users page, available from the left-side menu in the MDR portal, provides an overview of all MDR users across your managed companies. The page includes both SSO-enabled users and users who authenticate with MDR-specific credentials.

The page includes the following main components:

  1. Company selector: If you are a Partner, you can click it to switch between companies and view the corresponding users table. You can select All managed companies or a specific managed company.

    Important

    This selector is not displayed for Customers.

  2. Info button: Clicking it opens the knowledge base article relevant to the Users page.

  3. Show or hide filters button: Controls the visibility of filtering options for the Users table.

  4. Refresh button: Refreshes the Users table to display the latest user information, including newly created users.

  5. Users table data: Displays information about all available MDR users. For details, refer to Viewing user details.

  6. Available filters: Use them to narrow the list of users based on specific criteria. For details, refer to Filtering and searching users.

  7. Actions menu: Provides access to the actions available for the selected user. Available actions vary depending on whether the user is authenticated through SSO or with MDR credentials and may include Edit, Disable/Enable, Delete, Reset Password, and Reset MFA.

    Important

    If you are assigned the Read-Only role, the actions menu is not displayed.

  8. The pagination bar: This bar allows controlling how many items are displayed per page. You can navigate through pages using the arrows, jump directly to the first or last page, or select a specific page to view.

Viewing user details

Each user entry in the Users table includes the following information:

  • Name: The name of the user

    Important

    A blue SSO Enabled label is displayed next to the name of each user with SSO enabled.

  • Email: The email of the user

  • Role: The role of the user:

    • Admin: Offers full access to MDR portal features and administration tasks. Admins can manage user accounts, create and update tickets, upload and manage documents, configure emergency contacts, and perform other management operations within their companies.

    • User: Users with this role can access MDR data and perform day-to-day operational tasks, such as viewing portal information, creating and updating tickets, and managing documents. However, they cannot manage user accounts or modify administrative settings.

    • Read Only: Read-only users can view MDR information, including dashboards, tickets, reports, documents, and company details. They cannot create, modify, or delete content or settings.

    For more details, refer to Roles and permissions.

  • Added on: The date and time when the user was created

  • Status: Indicates whether the user account is enabled or disabled.

  • Company: The name of the company for which the user was created

    Important

    This column is displayed only when a Partner-type company or the All managed companies option is selected via the company selector. It indicates which managed company each user was created for.

Filtering and searching users

You can narrow the list of users by selecting a Role or Status value from the available filters, or search for users by entering part or all of a user name or email address in the corresponding search fields.

Additionally, you can filter users by a specific time range using the calendar option in the Added on field.

Creating users

You cannot create MDR users directly from the MDR portal. To create a new MDR user, you must create the user in GravityZone Control Center, then enable and configure Single Sign-On (SSO) for the account. For more information, refer to:

Users created through this process can access the MDR portal using their SSO credentials. Creating new MDR users with MDR-specific credentials is not supported.

If you create the account in GravityZone with either the Manage Users or Manage Companies permission, in addition to View and Analyze Data, the user is automatically assigned the Admin role in the MDR portal upon their first login.

If you create the account with only the View and Analyze Data permission and without the Manage Users or Manage Companies permissions in GravityZone, the user is automatically assigned the Read-Only role in the MDR portal upon their first login.

When the new user becomes available on the Users page, you can modify the user's role directly from this page at any time. For details, refer to Editing users.
