Overview

Environment Group Permissions and User Role Management Enhancements

Liongard has introduced a major enhancement to its user permissions and management system. Administrators can now streamline access control by consolidating permissions into five roles and grouping environments for simplified management. This update reduces errors, ensures appropriate access levels, and adapts to organizational changes, enhancing security and efficiency through a much more intuitive user interface.

Notable Features:

• Reduced Permission Roles: Liongard has simplified user permission management by reducing the need to manage permissions for each environment. Administrators can assign one of five roles to users and use environment groups for easier management. This standardization streamlines role assignment, ensuring appropriate access without the complexity of granular permissions.
• Environment Groups: Administrators can now group environments for streamlined access management. Users can categorize environments by departments, projects, or locations, enabling easy, centralized control of permissions at the group level. This feature eliminates the need to manage permissions individually for each environment.
• Flexible Environment Access Control: Liongard's enhanced user permissions allow administrators to customize access control based on organizational needs, easily managing group access, preventing internal system access, and assigning user roles to suit dynamic business requirements.
• Enhanced User Interface: A new intuitive interface simplifies access management with easy role assignments and grouped environments.

Huntress Inspector Now in Production Status

This month, we also completed the Production release of the Huntress Inspector for Liongard, which allows you to seamlessly monitor Huntress agent statuses, alerts, and configuration change detections directly from Liongard. Moreover, this integration extends access to this critical information to non-admin users, ensuring that all team members stay informed about the security and status of Huntress agents.

The inspector includes:

• Data-view table reports on agent statuses and host endpoint information
• Summaries of key data-points to provide a simple snapshot of the state of deployed Huntress agents
• Agent configuration data and changes going back up to 18 months for Huntress Agents installed on endpoints
• Ability to alert and create tickets for changes related to endpoints with Huntress agents installed
• New inspector metrics to track unresponsive huntress agents

For more information on the deployment of this inspector, please visit our documentation.
