How to Onboard Users to Securden Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM)?

Adding users to the endpoint privilege manager is an important foundational step to adopt streamlined endpoint privilege management using Securden EPM. Policies that govern privilege elevation need to be assigned to specific users for granular control over privileges.

Prerequisite: Before you proceed with onboarding the users, you should have configured the mail server settings, as the login information will be sent to the registered email address of each user.

Securden supports adding users through three mechanisms mentioned below:

• Importing Domain Users: You can directly onboard your Active Directory, Azure AD (Entra ID), and hybrid (AD + Azure (Entra ID)) domain users into Securden through integration with AD, and Azure AD (Entra ID).

• Fetching Local Users on Endpoints: Local users on endpoints can be onboarded to EPM using the Securden agent to fetch the local accounts from their respective endpoints.

• Manually Adding Users: You can manually add users to the Securden Endpoint Privilege Manager by specifying individual attributes of the user.

• Importing from File Instead of adding users one-by-one, you can import them from a file.

Note

However, users added manually or imported from a file cannot be associated with any control policy for privilege management or application control since the scope of these users are limited to the EPM interface and does not extend to individual endpoints.

You can also import entire user groups from your AD and Azure AD domain into Securden. The domain groups in Securden can be configured to get synchronized every few hours or days to streamline user access provisioning to applications.
