Set up a directory of users
Integrate SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) with your Identity Provider to create a directory of users that can access your Services
- Updated on May 31, 2024
For security reasons, CSE handles Admins and Users completely separately.
- Admins manage access control security policies via the Command Center web console and API. To manage admins, refer to the articles on managing admins.
- Users use their Devices to access Services that are secured by CSE’s enforcement components.
Overview
Cloud Secure Edge integrates with your Identity Providers so your end users can be authenticated via authentication federation.
CSE secures user identity data and simplifies the user experience by automating User identity lifecycle management: CSE’s IDP integrations allow for Just-In-Time (JIT) provisioning of User accounts, as well as Group and Role information updating upon login. Updates to the User directory or IDP are reflected in CSE with each new login, allowing for changes in Users’ authorization without requiring admins to make any manual changes to Roles or Access policies.
