- Leverage existing Microsoft® Active Directory® user account information and groups for Orion logins.
- Customize accounts to display specific types of network data for a subset of users
- Create priority groups for users who belong to multiple AD groups so you can ensure the appropriate permissions are delivered to specific users.
Leverage your existing Microsoft Active Directory user accounts to allow users to log into Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM). Users and groups can automatically login using custom username/password or optionally use an AD pass-through login to bypass the login screens altogether.
As an administrator, you can customize each account and specify which types of information are displayed within the Orion interface for a particular department, group, or user. This ensures that only the people who need to view specific information have access to it, providing an increased level of internal security.
For example, Orion NPM can be configured so that the server team only sees the servers on the network, while the Texas IT group has a view limited to the geography for which they are responsible. Even better, you can further customize these views by creating a page layout specific to an account—changing the color palette and modifying toolbars. Of course, this functionality also allows you to simplify the boss’s view to pretty pictures and single syllable words!
