Global / Single Site

How to enforce single sign-on (SSO) use

You can only edit whether a user has to use SAML authentication if the user is authenticated at this site (or at a child of this site) and the authentication method is set to SSO for select users at this authentication level.

To enforce SSO for a user:

1. From the site dashboard, click Manage Users in the side navigation bar.
2. In the displayed list of users, find the one you want to edit. Check the box at the beginning of each row.
3. Click the Edit button.
4. Check the Enforce single sign-on checkbox.
5. Click Save.

How to delete users

Deleting a user from your multi-site dashboard removes that person from your account and all sites. If you want to revoke access to a specific site only, edit the user’s details instead to remove their access to that particular site. If you later decide to re-add a deleted user, you’ll need to send them a new invitation.

Note: You can’t delete yourself.

1. Click Manage Users in the side navigation bar.
2. In the displayed list of users, find the user(s) you want to delete. Check the box at the beginning of each row.
3. Click the Delete button.
4. Confirm the cancellation by clicking Delete.

How to authorize a user from a multi-site dashboard

From your multi-site dashboard, you can edit all users who have access to any of your sites. Specifically, you can indicate which sites the user should have access to and what access level they should have for each one.

You can’t change your access level for the current account you’re logged into.

1. From the multi-site dashboard, click Manage Users in the side navigation bar.
2. In the displayed list of users, find the one you want to edit. Check the box at the beginning of each row.
3. Click the Authorize button.
4. Edit user site authorizations: 
• To apply the same role to each site: From the list of sites, check each site for which the user should have the same role level. From the Roles drop-down menu, select the appropriate role.
• To assign different roles per site: From the list of sites, check a site and from the Roles drop-down menu, select the appropriate role. Repeat for each site where the roles assigned should be different.
5. If a user is authorized to access a site that is a higher level than the site they’re currently authorized on, their authentication level will be changed to permit the new authorization. If the authentication method is set to SSO for all users, please make sure the user is also listed in your identity provider and is configured to have access to Auvik.

How to change the authentication level for a user from a multi-site dashboard

The authentication level determines which site a user belongs to and controls which authentication method they can use. This enables support for different authentication methods and different SSO configurations for each site.

1. From the multi-site dashboard, click Manage Users in the side navigation bar.
2. In the displayed list of users, find the one you want to edit. Check the box at the beginning of the desired row.
3. Click the Authorize button.
4. Change the authentication level dropdown to the desired authentication level.

The authentication level for a user can only be changed if it is at the current site or a child of this site.

Note: At this time, you can only change Authorization levels on a single site at a time. For information on how to do this, click here.
