The User Management feature facilitates the creation and management of users and their roles, category-based permissions, and privileges directly in Metasys UI, without the need to install software on client machines. Administrators can create and manage user details for Active Directory and Metasys local users. From Release 11.0, Active Directory includes Microsoft® Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), including two-factor authentication (2FA) when the ADFS Server is configured for 2FA. This single sign-on solution helps prevent unauthorized access to Metasys, which, if not prevented, could result in data, financial, and reputational loss, system disruption, and other negative consequences.
User management is also available in the SMP, but over time it will be available in Metasys UI only.
