Multi-Tenant Management of Settings Profiles

Applies To: WatchGuard Advanced EPDR This topic applies to the WatchGuard Advanced EPDR endpoint security product., WatchGuard EPDR This topic applies to the WatchGuard EPDR endpoint security product., WatchGuard EDR This topic applies to the WatchGuard EDR endpoint security product., WatchGuard EPP This topic applies to the WatchGuard EPP endpoint security product., WatchGuard EDR Core This topic applies to the WatchGuard EDR Core, available in the Total Security Suite license.

To access the multi-tenant management UI for endpoint security, your Service Provider account must have an active WatchGuard Endpoint Security license in its inventory.

Settings vary for WatchGuard Advanced EPDR, EPDR, EDR, EDR Core, and EPP. Throughout this documentation, WatchGuard Endpoint Security refers generally to all products. If you do not have a setting in the Endpoint Security management UI, it is not supported by your product.

On the Settings page, Service Providers can create and edit security settings profiles, and then assign them to managed accounts (Subscriber or Service Provider) or a group of accounts, similar to a template. Settings profiles can help reduce administration time and settings inheritance enables quicker assignment of settings to account groups and sub-groups and the computer and devices in these groups.

Service Providers cannot manage the security settings of delegated accounts in the multi-tenant management UI.

For information on how to centrally assign a security settings profile, go to Multi-Tenant Management — Assign Endpoint Security Settings to Managed Accounts.

1. From Account Manager, select a Service Provider account.
   To select your own Service Provider account, select Overview. Or, select a tier-n Service Provider account.
2. Select Configure > Endpoints.
3. On the Settings page, select the type of settings you want to see.
