Approved Users

The approved users list defines which local accounts should exist on your managed firewalls. Any account that doesn’t match the approved list is flagged as potentially unauthorized.

How It Works

1. Define your approved users — create a list of account names that should exist on your devices
2. Platform audits each device — compares the device’s actual local accounts against your approved list
3. Unauthorized accounts are flagged — accounts not on the approved list appear in the compliance dashboard

Use Cases

• Compliance enforcement — ensure only authorized personnel have firewall access
• Audit preparation — demonstrate to auditors that you have a defined account standard
• Onboarding/offboarding — quickly identify where former employees still have access
• Standardization — ensure consistent account naming across your fleet

Organization-Level Lists

Approved user lists can be set at the global level or per organization. This lets you have different standards for different clients while maintaining a shared baseline.
