Cloud Accounts

Specops cloud accounts are administrative accounts for Specops Authentication Web. They are used primarily in environments without a Gatekeeper, or when a Gatekeeper is unavailable.

On the Cloud Accounts page, you can:

View a List of Existing Cloud Accounts

You can view a list of existing cloud accounts. You can also view additional details, such as: the account name, mobile phone number, the last time the password was changed, and the enrollment session expiry date if the user has a pending enrollment.

Add a New Cloud Account

To add a new Cloud account, you must be signed in with a Cloud account, or an Active Directory user account in the User Admin Group.

  1. Click Add cloud account.
  2. In the Cloud account email address field, enter the account name (UPN) of the user account. For example: username@domain.com
  3. The Full cloud account name (upn) field is read-only. The full Cloud account name is automatically generated from the account name (UPN) specified in the Cloud account email address field.
  4. Click Save.

Generate an Enrollment Session URL for a Cloud Account

You can generate an enrollment session URL for an existing Cloud account. An enrollment session URL enables a Cloud account to enroll, so that they can access the Admin pages in Specops Authentication Web. The URL must be copied and sent via email or text message.

Note

An enrollment URL will expire 2 hours after it has been generated. If the URL expires before it is used, a new one must be generated.

Administrators can actively revoke the link before the expiration time ends by clicking the Revoke link at the bottom of the window.

  1. Select an account from the list.
  2. Click Regenerate next to the Enroll session URL field.
  3. When the URL has been generated, click the Copy link link, to copy it.

Delete a Cloud Account

You can delete an existing Cloud account.

Warning

If you are a member of the “Admin group”, you will have the ability to delete another Cloud account.

  1. Select an account from the list.
  2. Click Delete cloud account.
  3. In the confirmation dialog box, click Delete.
