Manage Users

An enterprise administrator can view, create, edit, and delete users and assign user roles and privileges from the Users dashboard. 

For individual accounts, Versa Portal only displays permissible menu items. For example, the left menu bar may only display the Configure, Monitor, and Troubleshoot icons for an Enterprise User account. Enterprise users do not have access to the Users module.

Versa Portal offers single sign-on (SSO) as a login mechanism between service providers and identity providers (IdPs). An operator, store admin, MSP, or reseller can enable SSE for a new tenant when adding the tenant (user). This is done from the Add User window, where you can select the external SSO authentication option.

Manage User Accounts

To view a list of user accounts, click the Users icon in the left menu bar. The following screenshot displays the Users dashboard for an enterprise administrator login.

Add an Enterprise Admin or User

An enterprise administrator can add a new account and assign user roles and privileges. You cannot assign more privileges than the account you are using. Users can use their accounts to log in to both Versa Portal and Versa Portal Mobile. You can select the following platform options for a user when you add the user:

  • External—For an external user, no email is sent. Instead, the authentication request goes to the external identity-provider (IdP), who authorizes the user to access Versa Portal.
  • Versa IDP—For a Versa IDP user, Titan Portal automatically sends an email to the user with instructions for creating an account password for Titan Portal.
  • VSPA (RAC/RAS)—Tenants who have SASE gateways with the VSPA service with local authentication can view the VSPA (RAC/RAS) option. VSPA users are set up on a SASE gateway, branch (remote access VPN) database, or multitenant with RAC/RAS device. An email is sent to set up the VSPA client. To create a VSPA (RAC/RAS) user, see Add a Versa Secure Private Access User and Set the User Account.

  1. Click the Users icon in the left menu bar to display the Users dashboard.
