  • If you log in to GravityZone via a 3rd party Identity Provider, you cannot use the Open console button to access the MDR portal. As a workaround, create dedicated accounts that use GravityZone IdP.

  • If you have either the Manage Users or Manage Companies permission in GravityZone, in addition to the View and Analyze Data permission, you will automatically receive Admin access in the MDR portal until your role is changed there.

    If you lack both the Manage Users and Manage Companies permissions in GravityZone, and only have the View and Analyze Data permission, you will have Read-only access to the MDR portal until your role is updated there.
