A user asked if anything special is needed to use the enable/disable maintenance mode script - it's only for on-prem Citrix and requires giving the service account the necessary rights. Citrix Cloud requires the Secure Access Account to have full admin rights. The script works great in RT Console and a user was having difficulty loading sanpin in Solve.

The Audit Log will give insight to past usage of Solve.

ControlUp Edge DX system requirements and AV exception documentation
Someone was looking for system requirement and AV exception documents for Edge DX. The documentation available on Support Controlup showed AV exclusions for Controlup, which included one item needed for Edge DX. Powershell was found to be blocked by CarbonBlack, and it was suggested that Powershell should be allowed as Edge DX runs PS to gather metrics. It was also suggested that the Edge Docs be updated to reflect this, and that sipagent.exe should be whitelisted to allow Powershell to run.

How to Disable the ControlUp Daily Digest?
A user asked why they were unable to disable the ControlUp Daily Digest. After trying from different web browsers and ensuring that the user had sufficient permissions, they opened a support ticket and it was discovered that two user accounts for the same user were present with different permissions - the least restrictive taking precedence.

How to add new users to ControlUp Real Time DX?
A user asked a question about adding users to a ControlUp setup, with the question of whether it needs to be done via the Login Setup screen in version 8.7 or if it can be done through adding people to an AD group. In order to do this, users need to be added manually. However, ControlUp is working on enhancing its Solve/SAML integration, which will enable new users to be auto created as needed. This would be done with the new DEX platform/login when configured to use SAML. ControlUp will keep @member updated on its progress with the DEX platform.
