SAML Integration

If SAML integration hasn't been set up, you can request your GYTPOL Customer Success Manager to create local users in your cloud tenant.

If you prefer to use SAML IdP, please refer to this guide: SaaS IdP (SAML) Integration Manual

Settings up Role Based Access Control

  1. To access the Permissions settings in the GYTPOL UI, please open the GYTPOL interface and click on Settings located on the left pane. From there, select Permissions.

Add Permissions

  1. Choose the appropriate group of devices from the options available, such as custom groups or built-in categories like Windows endpoints, macOS Computers, or Red Hat Linux.

  • For Full Admin or Full View (Read) access, you can opt to select "All my devices."

  • If you need to create custom groups, follow the steps outlined in this guide: UI2 - Creating Computer Groups

  1. After assigning permissions, proceed by clicking on "Add" to include members. Select the username from the list of users. If more members are required for the same role, repeat this step until you've added all necessary individuals.

  2. Finally, click on "Create" to save the role and create it within the console.

Creation of Local User Accounts

If there is no SAML integration with GYTPOL, you can create and assign roles to local user accounts.

To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Access the Permissions screen.

  2. Click on the Users tab.

  3. Click New to create a local user account.

Fill in the details as follows:

  • User: Email address of the new account you are adding

  • User Name: First and Last names of the person, or any other identifier you prefer

  • Title: Optional

  • Role: The access level you wish to assign to the newly created account

Once done, please click Create.

Note for SAML-Integrated Systems

Local user accounts cannot be created via the UI if SAML is integrated. Attempting to do so will result in the below error.

If a local user account is needed with SAML integrated access, please contact support at support@gytpol.com.
