Configure user notifications

Configure user notifications

A wide range of predefined notification configurations come included with the appliance.

Administrators can review these configurations on the User Notifications page. Additional details about each configuration are displayed on the User Notification Detail page after selecting it in the list. Some configurations allow you to enable or disable them, while other settings are read-only.

You can use one or more labels to associate a notification configuration with specific users. This causes the resulting notification alerts to be displayed in the Administrator Console only to the users specified by those labels . If a notification configuration is not linked to any users this way, all users with administrative-level permissions can see the related notification alerts in the Administrator Console, when they are triggered. These settings do not apply to the System Administration Console, that always shows all notifications to all users.

1.
Go to the User Notifications list page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click User Notifications.
2.
On the User Notifications page, review the list of notifications.
For each item, the list displays its name, description, whether the notification is enabled, category, and any labels associated with it. There are several available categories, each focusing on a specific aspect of your environment. You can, for example, sort the list by category, and review all notifications in a specific segment, such as Security or Patching.
3.
To review or edit a specific notification configuration:
a.
Click the name of a user notification.
b.
Observe the contents of the User Notification Detail page.
The Name, Description, and Category settings are read-only. Some notification configurations allow you to enable or disable them using the Enabled check box. If this box appears greyed out, the notification configuration is always enabled.
c.
Review the Restrict to Labels area, and edit the collection of labels, as needed.
When you add labels to a notification configuration, only the users specified by those labels can see the resulting notification alerts as they are being triggered. If a notification configuration does not point to any specific users using this method, its notifications can be displayed to all users with the administrative-level permissions in the Administrator Console. The System Administration Console, however, shows all notifications to all logged-in users regardless of these settings.
To view, add or edit labels associated with the notification configuration:
1.
Click Restrict to Labels.
2.
In the Select Labels dialog box that appears, review or edit the list of labels that you want to associate with the user notification. You can add multiple labels to each notification configuration.
3.
When done, click OK to return to the User Notification Detail page.
d.
On the User Notification Detail page, click Save.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication for all users

Enable Two-Factor Authentication for all users

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) provides stronger security for users logging into the appliance by adding an extra step to the login process. It relies on the Google Authenticator app to generate verification codes. The app generates a new six-digit code at regular intervals. When enabled, end users will be prompted for the current verification code each time they log in.

To download the Google Authenticator app, visit one of the following sites, as applicable:

•
Android devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2
•
iOS devices: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/google-authenticator/id388497605?mt=8

You can enable 2FA access to the Administrator Console and User Console for all users in the selected organization using the Two-Factor Authentication page in the Administrator Console, as described below. Alternatively, you can enable or disable 2FA access to the Administrator Console and User Console using the System Administration Console. For more information, see Configure Two-Factor Authentication for organizations.

1.
Go to the Admin-level Two-Factor Authentication page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click Control Panel and in the Security Settings section click Enable 2FA.
2.
To enable 2FA for all users in the Administrator Console, under Enable Two-Factor Authentication for Admin Portal, select Required for all Users.
This option overwrites 2FA settings in the User Details page. When 2FA is enabled for all users on this page, it cannot be disabled for individual users on the User Details page for any users that are associated with the selected organization (if applicable).
3.
To enable 2FA for all users in the User Console, under Two-Factor Authentication for User Portal, select Required for all Users.
