These release notes provide information about Quest Security Management Platform Global Settings deployments.
Quest Security Management Platform is a cloud based management platform, providing access to multiple Quest Software Microsoft management tools through a single interface. Cloud based is a term that refers to applications, services or resources made available to users on demand via the Internet. Quest Security Management Platform is a Software as a Service (SaaS) application where application software is hosted in the cloud and made available to users through quest-on-demand.com.
Security Management Platform management is based on the concepts of organizations, task based modules and Microsoft Entra tenants. When you sign up for the Quest Security Management Platform service, you create an organization. The organization can subscribe to task based modules. Organization administrators can use the tools provided by the modules to perform administrative actions on Microsoft Entra tenants.
