When users are added to Akamai, you must assign roles to the users to grant them the required access.
The following are the roles:
Roles | Description |
|---|---|
View | This role allows for ‘read only’ views of the portal and enables users to review and monitor reports. Users do not have the permission to create new reports. |
Editor | Editors can perform all configuration-related tasks such as creating and editing cache and security configurations; as well as publishing new configurations. They cannot perform administrative functions such as creating groups or users. |
Admin | This role provides the maximum access to users. Administrators can perform administrative tasks such as creating users and groups; configuration-related tasks such as creating and editing cache and security configurations; as well as publishing new configurations. |
Settings
Admin users can modify the settings associated with user authentication. This allows control over:
SSO integration
Password policy
Two-factor authentication
Authorized domains
Password policy
The default password policy is set to aka. This policy has the following settings:
Must be at least 8 characters long.
Must contain at least 1 letter(s).
Must contain at least 1 digit(s).
Must not contain more than 2 repeating characters.
Must be different from the last 4 password(s).
Must be changed in 180 days.
The following are additional policies to select from:
aka90
aka90_complex
The additional options can be explored further in the Settings section of Identity and Access Management.
Users
Admin users can maintain user access to Akamai Control Center. They can remove users, add new users, and assign permissions to users on their subscription. Visit the Identity and Access Management section of Akamai to maintain and review the users with access to the subscription. Users are responsible for maintaining their user access.
Third-party access
Users cannot have access to multiple accounts. A user that has an existing Akamai account cannot be added as a user to additional accounts. If the user is no longer needing access to their previous account, create a Support ticket and the user can be transferred to the new account. However, if the user needs access to both accounts, they need to choose one account to be their primary subscription. Then, third-party access can be established to provide the user access to the new subscription. To start third-party access, create a Support ticket and an engineer can provide you assistance with this multi-step process.
