# 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
Non-admin users have limited access to the ***Reports*** section and can view basic reports related to their own actions in their vaults.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### 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.

### Resources

Visit the [Devolutions Forum](https://forum.devolutions.net/) to connect with other Devolutions Cloud users, ask questions, and get insights from Devolutions developers, product leaders, and the support team.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/cloud/getting-started/get-started-with-devolutions-cloud/use-administration-tools-reports-and-resources.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
