The Users page allows the subscription administrator to add, modify, deactivate and reactivate Data Defense users. Defined users can sign into the console and Data Defense ( for use with file encryption ) and can be assigned different roles to control access.

Users will be able to login to the Console and Data Defense ( file encryption feature. ) Depending on the role, the user will have different permissions within the console. The role has no effect on Data Defense capabilities.

First name and Last name (required) are displayed in Data Defense contacts page and can be helpful in correctly identify users for file sharing purposes.

Email address (required) is used as the primary sign in so take care to enter the address correctly.

Administrators have access to all features and capabilities within the console including integration management, user creation and policy management. User role only has access to decrypt file page and profile settings for themselves.

Job Title, Department and Location (optional) can be used in searches and will be used in future reporting and group functionality.

Generate User Encryption Keys will automatically generate a public/private key pair for the user which will be stored in the console and sent to Data Defense upon login. Alternatively, you can allow Data Defense to create the keys which can optionally be backed up to the console.
