Live Webinar: Limited Access Accounts for Reporting

This webinar is has already occurred, and the recording is available below
In addition to your ITAM duties, do you currently serve as the dedicated AllSight report-runner, fielding requests from other stakeholders for usage data and other reports? Have you considered giving access to others in your organization, but aren’t sure where to start?
In this month’s webinar, we’re going to walk you through the process of setting up an account with limited access to data, and no ability to delete database objects, change settings, or “break” things. Steps we’ll cover include:
- Local or External Authentication — Will your new user(s) be logging in with an account you create manually within AllSight, or will you configure AD- or SSO-based authentication?
- Individual or Group Access — Will you be granting permissions to users individually, or via external (AD) group membership?
- Section-Level Access — Will your users have access to all computers and devices, or will they be restricted to a subset?
- Built-in or Custom Roles — Is one of our built-in roles sufficient, or will you need to create a new one manually to provide custom permissions?
- Permissions vs. ACLs — What’s the difference? How do they interact to give users the precise level of access and permissions they need, and nothing more?
- Dashboards and Reports — Finally, how can you create and manage a user’s dashboard and report options, without requiring them to configure everything themselves?
If you’ve thought about giving access to additional users for awhile, but don’t know where to start or just “haven’t found the time,” think about the time you’ll save when they can log in and run the reports they need for themselves, and join this webinar!

Neil Clarke Drew UniversityWe’re very pleased with our choice of KeyServer. We’ve expanded our use and rely on it heavily. We couldn’t offer half of what we do without it and most people don’t know it’s there. We’ve also been able to establish licensing contracts a lot more smoothly with this in place. It’s a well-respected product.
Hamish Hamilton The University of WaikatoThrough the use of Sassafras and implementing ITAM practices, The University of Waikato ITS team has been able to reduce the overall computer fleet by 10%, resulting in significant CAPEX and operational savings. This has also led to a lot of new device intelligence in identifying users with multiple devices and more closely associating users with devices, software, and departments in the organisation. We like the automated reporting of usage data and the functionality that Sassafras gives us to help us with good ITAM practices.
