Account management

Manage your account users, API keys, usage, billing, security, and SSO.

Users
When you create an IBM® NS1 Connect® account, you become the first account user with all permissions enabled. You can add users to your account and grant them permissions based on their role, focus area, or the specific resources they require access to. Each user manages their own login credentials, but you can enforce global two-factor authentication for all users if required by your organization.
Teams
You can create a team when multiple users or API keys require the same permissions. This helps simplify access management by allowing you to assign permissions once at the team level instead of configuring permissions individually for each user or API key. Team-level permissions override permissions that are configured directly on the user or API key.
API keys
Use API keys and API key secrets to securely authenticate API requests to NS1 Connect API keys define access permissions, while API key secrets are the tokens used to authenticate API requests. NS1 Connect supports API key secret expiration and rotation to help maintain secure and uninterrupted access.
Account permissions
Each user, team, and API key has an associated set of permissions that determine the level of access to various objects and ability to perform specific actions in an NS1 Connect account.
Security
Usage
In IBM® NS1 Connect®, you can view details about your plan such as the type of plan that you are subscribed to, your account IDs, and your account usage by billing cycle.
Single sign-on (SSO)
In IBM® NS1 Connect®, you can configure SAML 2.0 single sign-on (SSO) authentication through integrations with third-party identity management services like Okta, Azure, OneLogin, or Duo.
