Use administration tools, reports, and resources
This article covers the administrative tools, authentication options, reports, and resources that help you manage and personalize your Devolutions Cloud, beyond the vaults, users, groups, permissions, and licenses covered in the setup articles.
Administration options
Application identities
Use Application identities to allow access for services such as Devolutions Cloud reporting, PAM, and encryption, and for integrations with the PowerShell module.
Password policies
Use Password policies to customize the default password and passphrase rules enforced for entries throughout your Devolutions Cloud.
System settings
Use System settings to configure custom options, control how Devolutions Cloud interacts with external tools, and adjust basic policies.
Access and authentication
In the Authentication section, configure how your Devolutions Cloud is accessed:
Single sign-on (SSO): Devolutions Cloud supports SSO via Okta and Microsoft Entra ID. Instead of signing in with a Devolutions account, the user is presented with a Microsoft authentication screen before accessing their Devolutions Cloud.
SCIM provisioning: Synchronize users and user groups from your current identity provider.
Encryption service: Set up the Encryption service if you want to self-host your encryption key provider.
Security dashboard
The dashboard displays action items to help improve your security posture. The recommendations are based on NIST standards and serve as guidelines; how you act on them is at your discretion.
Devolutions Gateway and Devolutions PAM
Depending on your solution package, Devolutions Cloud works with Devolutions Gateway and Devolutions PAM.
Devolutions Gateway
Devolutions Gateway acts as a secure tunnel to reach segmented endpoints without a VPN. It lets you launch RDP and SSH sessions directly from the web with no external clients, and you can enable live session recording for later auditing.
To host your own gateway, select Add in the interface, then download and host it.
Devolutions PAM
Devolutions PAM provides privileged access management. By connecting to your existing providers, you can secure access to critical accounts, automatically rotate passwords after use, and enforce a checkout and approval process.
Reports
The Reports section is organized into Audit, History, Logs, Privileged access, Scheduled reports, and Users. Key uses include:
Permissions and access audit – Review which vaults a user can access, useful for quick audits and permission reviews across the team.
Logs – See activity across all vaults: who did what and when, to stay on top of changes or spot anything unusual.
Users – Focus on a specific user to see all of their actions and which app they performed them from, useful for tracking down issues or verifying activity.
Non-admin users have limited access to the Reports section and can view basic reports related to their own actions in their vaults.
Help and tools
The Help and tools section gives you quick access to shortcuts for integrated products, import and export tools, and direct links to the documentation with step-by-step guides.
