Settings in the Admin Portal

Settings within the Admin Portal give IT Admins quick access to update the features and resources important for their organization and users. Accessing your Settings is the same for each feature; however, the navigation between tabs will differ. Dive in and learn more about the Admin Portal's Settings below.

Accessing Your Settings

  1. Log in to your JumpCloud Admin Portal.
  2. Click on Settings at the bottom of the left-hand navigation panel. 
  3. There are five tabs under Settings that you can click between. Some have their own menu of features on the right hand side. Click between the tabs and features you want to view and update. 
  4. Once you are finished making updates in a given tab, click Save

Organization Profile

Your Organization Profile houses general settings that your user’s will encounter, like the company logo, enabling read-only access for users, along with user portal session timeout and requesting to delete the organization.

General

To name your Organization:

  1. Under Settings > Organization Profile > General section, you can apply an Organization NameContact Name and Contact Email.
    • Various emails will include a contact link to this contact name and email.

To access your Organization ID:

  1. To view and/or copy your Organization ID, click the ‘eye’ icon to remove the obscured view.
  2. Click the ‘double page’ icon to copy the ID.

Customize Logo

  1. You can click Choose A File, or Upload/Drag & Drop a .png or .jpg with a transparent or white background. You can see what your logo will look like in communication from JumpCloud to your org’s users under Preview Logo

Note:

Logos must meet a minimum resolution of 400px X 400px and have a max file size of 780 KB.

  1. Click Save if these are your only changes.

User Portal Settings

You can give your users read-only access in their User Portal, and/or allow them to download the JumpCloud agent directly from their User Portal. 

  1. Check/Uncheck Enable/Disable read-only on the user portal’s profile page for all users to limit their access. 
  2. Check/Uncheck Allow/Unallow all users to access the system agent installer through their User Portal so they can download the JumpCloud agent directly from their User Portal. Learn more: Enable Users to Install the Agent.
  3. Click Save if these are your only changes.

User Portal Session Duration

You can adjust the duration that the User Portal stays active before the session expires and the user is required to log in with their credentials again. This ensures that an idle device can't be used by malicious parties to access sensitive data.

Note:

The default value for User Portal Session Timeout is 8 hours. 

Considerations

  • Activity is defined as interactions with the server, like launching applications (Identity Provider and Service Provider initiated) or updating user information. 
  • Updates to the duration settings won’t affect a user’s current session but will apply the next time they log in. 
  • The duration settings currently apply to all factors of authentication enabled for a user.
  • The duration settings apply only to the JumpCloud User Portal. In many cases, setting duration must be defined on the Service Provider side (ex: AWS, Slack etc).
  • When the browser session is terminated, the User Portal session will also be terminated. 

To set User Portal Session Duration:

  1. Set a User Portal Session Duration in DaysHours or Minutes specifying how long you want the User Portal to stay active before going idle and prompting users for their login credentials. 

Note:

Minimum = 1 minute, and Maximum = 90 days

  1. Click Save if these are your only changes.

Note:

The default value for Admin Portal session timeout is 60 minutes. The session length is not configurable.

Administrator Management

Administrators can have SSO with Google enabled in their Admin Portal so they save time by using one set of credentials to access their admin portal.

To enable SSO with Google for Admins:

  1. Leave Disable SSO with Google on Admin Portal unselected to give admins access to their admin portal through one set of credentials.
  2. Click Save if these are your only changes.

To disable SSO with Google for Admins, see Disable Google SSO in the Admin Portal.

Note:

Each Administrator will need to connect their Google account to be able to log in to JumpCloud with Google.

To connect your Google account:

  1. From the Administrators tab, select the administrator to edit.
  2. In the Edit Administrator panel, scroll to Account Settings, then click Connect.
  3. Follow the Google prompts to connect your account.
