A new user inquired about logging for Helpdesk permissions in ControlUp. They are experiencing issues with data collectors communicating with their EUC environment and NetScalers. Other roles, such as ControlUp admins, do not have this issue. The Helpdesk role may not have proper permissions for "Use EUC env" and "Use ADC." A member suggested checking if the Helpdesk role has permission to view the folder containing the data collector. The user found the solution by granting the Helpdesk role access to view the folder. ControlUp has a hybrid environment.

Pre-Filling Event Pane Settings for All ControlUp Users
A user asked if it is possible to pre-fill/pre-stage Event Pane settings for all ControlUp users, as it seems to be a user-specific configuration. Some suggestions were to use PowerShell to add filters, but others pointed out that credentials are encrypted by user SID so that may not work. The user also asked if these events filters could be set as a GPO setting. File name: "%appdata%\ControlUp\Configuration\CommonPrivateConfiguration.xml"

Troubleshooting Edge DX and Netskope CASB
A user asked about Netskope CASB causing Edge DX to show their IP address as a Netskope owned one instead of their actual ISP IP. They found an article about ZScaler needing to be set up to bypass some ControlUp URLs for the real IP to show, and asked if this would likely be the same fix for Netskope. Another user responded saying they had a similar issue with ZScaler and needed to set up a bypass in order to correctly report ISPs. It is likely that EdgeDX is looking at the IP the client is coming in from and showing the Netskope IP. The ZScaler bypass information can be found here: https://support.controlup.com/docs/show-the-real-ip-address-for-devices-using-zscaler-vpn

The Transition to ControlUp’s Web Interface and the DEX Upgrade Plan
A user asked about ControlUp Academy - this is a training platform with free self-training and instructor-led content. Certifications from ControlUp are available. The Academy can be found at https://cuacademy.controlup.com/ A discussion about the transition from Solve to app.controlup.com is taking place. While the move to DEX should not remove users, it is recommended to set up DEX with SAML for an easier experience. The group memberships can be added to the RT security policy in the console. A link is provided for upgrading an existing organization. Starting in version 9.1, the console will require authentication in Dex first. It is suggested to plan for the upgrade sooner rather than later. Some users prefer Solve over Dex, but the transition is in the best interest of customers. It is possible for long-time users to continue using the RT console. The move to Dex allows for a single web interface. ControlUp's stance on putting customers first is reiterated. A meeting is offered to gather feedback on the topic. Using SAML is considered a best practice for the improved user experience.
