Users & Groups

Overview

The Users & Groups widget can effectively be utilized to create new CE XDR users and groups. The widget also shows the number of users and groups that have been created in the Crystal Eye XDR on-premise.

Various CE XDR network defence policies can be applied to the users and groups in the CE XDR. All the new users created using this widget can be aligned to one or more groups. These groups can further be categorized by CE administrators to implement various Crystal Eye security policies.

Note

Users & Groups can also be created using the User Application and the Groups Application. However, the Users & Groups widget in the System Dashboard of the Crystal Eye appliance provides a short cut to create User & Groups.
