Add New User

Navigate to Global > Settings > Users and tap the Add button.

Configure Company Level Access

When selecting a ROLE, you can configure the Company Level Access for that Role.

You can use the three-dot action menu on the far right to Edit a User, Reset MFA, Delete a user, or access an API Key.

The new user will receive an email where they must finish the initialization process by clicking through the email and completing their setup; the actual email example is below.

Email is sent from support@cybercns.com

After clicking the 'Finish initialization' button link in the email, the new user will be asked to verify their email, enter the Code from the email (which is pre-filled), and create a new password.

Once the password requirements are met, the green checkmarks and the Next button will be illuminated.

The User-activated confirmation page will appear, and the user can click the Next button.

Enter your Login Name (the email address used for signup) and password.

New User 2-Factor Setup

You need only set up one of the following methods, but you can configure multiple options if you choose to.

Tap your choice and then the Next button for setup. Below are instructions for the two options.

Authenticator App Method

Select the Authenticator App option, then tap next.

Use your smartphone with your authenticator app (Google Auth, Microsoft Auth, Authy, Duo, etc...…), scan the QR code, or copy the Secret and enter it manually into your app to get your Code to join.

Upon entering the Code and tapping next, you should see the 2-factor verified screen to confirm your setup. Tap the Next button to proceed.

You’s name based on your company.

Device Dependent Method

Select the Device dependent option, then tap Next.

Enter the name of the security key or device that will be used. In this example, I am using my Windows-based desktop computer, so I am just using the local name of my PC, RS-Steel-Legend; you can use any name you choose.

You will be prompted to enter your Windows Security password option configured; in this case, I am using the Windows Hello pin.

Once you enter your PIN or alternative password, you will be prompted that the passkey is saved.

2-factor verified confirmation appears; tap the Next button to complete.

You will be redirected to the authentication front-end Zitadel (http://authprod.myconnectsecure.com), where you will see your newly created user account details and options for password and Security, Identity Providers, Authorizations, Memberships, and Metadata.

This completes your setup. You can now visit the ConnectSecure portal and log in at https://portal.myconnectsecure.com. You must provide the tenant name based on your company.

Ask Your Admin

If you have another user at your company with Admin permissions, you can ask them for assistance if you need to use the RESET MFA option.

You will receive an email with a link to 'Reset password' as shown below. Tap on the Reset password button.

The Code from the email should be automatically inserted into the Set Password screen. If it isn't, please copy and paste it, then set your new password and tap Next.

You will see the Password Set confirmation screen; tap the Next button to complete.

Upon successful login, you will be prompted to Verify 2-Factor before logging in.

You will be prompted to enter your Windows Security, Auth App, or whichever Authentication Providersyou have configured in your tenant.
