Setting Discovery Policies for Users

Discovery can create VSA users and Portal Access users based on domain users. This means IT administrators can provide their users the same credential for these applications and manage authentication and authorization from a single location, using the Active Directory domain.

The following Discoveryuser policies can be set by (user) group or set by individual user.

1. Do Not Include Users - Do not create VSA user logons or Portal Access logons for domain users listed in this user group.
2. Create Staff Members - Creates a staff member record. These users can be assigned Portal Access to a machine manually.
3. Create Staff and make Auto Portal Candidates - Designates domain users in this user group as Portal Access candidates. See Making Portal Access Candidates for details.
4. Create VSA Users - Creates VSA user logons for domain users listed in this group. Automatic assignment of VSA users to departments can be based on the OU hierarchy in Active Directory. Alternatively you can assign domain machines to a fixed machine group.

Discovery user policies are set using the Domains > Domain Watch > Policies > Groups tab or Users tab.
