How to give access to ControlUp insights without giving access to the Controlup Console
The discussion considered what options are available for providing access to Insights data for third-party users without access to the ControlUp console. While registering in the console is necessary, uploading a CSV file with UPNs can be done with the Login Setup feature in 8.7. Insights will be deprecated soon and, as some customer's security policies can remove accounts if they are not used after a certain amount of time, there is the option of creating a bogus user with an email distribution. There are no limitations on the number of users in ControlUp itself, though some Microsoft licenses may be consumed based on a single AD account.
