A discussion arose about restricting access to ControlUp's DEX portal, such as with a specific client certificate, IP address or Azure hybrid joined client machine. Using SAML could be a solution as the service provider can deny access if criteria are not met, and IP restrictions are said to be arriving in the early months of 2024. The DEX login method "azure login" does not have further possibilities, but SAML does.

Setting Up an Azure Integration with ControlUp
A user asked about setting up an Azure integration and using the same app/service principal for Azure SAML auth. It was suggested to keep an eye on Rate Limits and use multiple SPN's to split requests and maintain uninterrupted service. This can be tracked in 8.8 using Subscription columns AZ % Rate Limit Usage, AZ Retries (Past Hour), AZ AIP Stats and AZ & AIP Variance.

How to add users to ControlUp Insights and Solve Access
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. It is recommended to give the user the "Use Solve" right in the security policy, and if a SAML is used, then there is no need for the export/import process. 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.

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.
