You must be on a Forest Admin Pro plan to have access to this tab.
Here, we explore essential features like IP whitelisting, auto logout, two-factor authentication (2FA), and user provisioning via SCIM. All to boost your project's security and manage user permissions effectively.
Your Security tab can give you access to various features:
Control which IP addresses can access to your admin panel.
Force your users session logout after a few minutes of inactivity.
Options are 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 10 min, 30 min, 1h (default), 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 10h, and 24h.
Enforce a second authentication factor while login to specific environments.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security feature available to everyone. However, requiring that a user has set up 2FA before they can access an environment is what this tab allows you to achieve.
As shown in the screenshot above, if some of your users log in using a third party, ensure 2FA is required on that third party if you want to reach the same level of security.
User provisioning via SCIM is a way to manage your users at scale through your Identity Provider.
Setting this up means you can add any user to a Forest Admin project directly from your Identity Provider, with the correct permission level, role and tags.
This feature is compatible with OneLogin and Okta, but other Identity Providers may be added manually.
Pick and follow the integration guide that fits your needs:
Some Identity Providers may require endpoints that are not supported yet. Should this be the case, please let us know and we could consider adding them.
