Configuring ControlUp in Multi-Forest AD with Selective Authentication Two-Way Trust

Posted on

A user wanted guidance on ControlUp in multi-forest AD with selective authentication two-way trust.

Posted on

A user asked how to add users to Insights - they needed to be added to the Security policy and then launch the RTC one-time to sign up.

To get the "Manage Solve" permissions, this is found in the "Perform organization-wide actions". The "Create Solve user automatically" option in the SAML settings is not available at the moment, with no estimated time of repair.
