Recommended Configuration Order
- Deploy the product and confirm the admin console is reachable.
- Create machines and browser instances.
- Create users, administrators, roles, and permissions.
- Create categories, SaaS sites, account categories, and site browser accounts.
- Create internal sites and workspaces.
- Create groups and authorize users, sites, internal sites, workspaces, permissions, and proxies.
- Create collaboration content and collaboration links.
- Configure site scripts, plugins, encrypted URLs, and enterprise replay as needed.
Permissions and Visibility
- Admin console menus are mainly controlled by role permissions.
- User portal visibility is mainly controlled by group authorization.
- Cloud browsing, proxies, workspaces, and internal sites should be authorized through groups instead of one-off user changes.
- Enterprise/professional capabilities also depend on deployment type and license status.
