Multi-factor authentication

Multi-factor authentication settings can only be configured at the Agent/User level.

Time-based one-time password (TOTP)

Time-based one-time password (TOTP) is a algorithm which generates a one-time password (OTP) that uses the current time as a source of uniqueness.
Once enabled, the User will be presented the following screen to configure the two-factor authentication in their chosen Authentication application:

Once the application has been successfully registered, from then on, the User will be presented the following screen to Authenticate their access when logging in to the Workspace:

Web Authentication (WebAuthn)

The Web Authentication API (also known as WebAuthn) is a specification written by the W3C and FIDO, with the participation of Google, Mozilla, Microsoft, Yubico, and others. The API allows servers to register and authenticate users using public key cryptography by integrating with built-in device authenticators such as Windows Hello.

Once enabled, the User will be presented the following screen to configure the two-factor authentication:

User Role

Select the User Role to be assigned to this user. User Roles must be set up before adding or editing a User.

Assigned Teams

Selected the Teams to be assigned to this user. Teams must be set up before adding or editing a User.

Timezone Settings

Enter the Timezone in which the user is located by selecting the region, and the specific timezone within that region, from the drop-down lists. This is used when displaying times for events that are specific to the user - for example, the user's last logged in date and time.

The fields in the drop-down lists are those used in the IANA Timezone database (see IANA Timezone database). The IANA convention is to refer to timezones using a concatenation of the region and the local timezone description, separated by a '/' character. For example, "Australia/Sydney".
