Admin Guide (advanced steps)

After you have configured the basic functions of the server and your employees have learned how to work with the Hideez Keys - it's time to use other possibilities of the Hideez solution.

Step 1: Keys management

Special statuses have been developed for key management. For example, an employee's key is compromised; the employee has gone on vacation, and you need to suspend his access; employee fired, etc. Check out the Keys Management section to use all these features.

Step 2: Hardware Vault Access profiles

Depending on the role of a particular User, you can configure more or less strict access settings. For example, require entering a pin code every 10 minutes, pressing a button and entering a pin code every time the key is connected. You can learn more about these features here.

Step 3: Set up different Lock mechanism for different workstations

Hideez Key uses the proximity mechanism to lock your workstation. Read more about this.

To unlock - you can choose different options:

Use Cases where 1 user can work on 1 PC - try proximity mechanism
Use Cases where many users can work on any PC - try Bluetooth Touch mechanism (default option)
Use Cases where many users can work on any PC and RFID reader is more convenient than Dongle - try RFID Touch mechanism
Use Cases where Azure Active Directory is a part of your infrastructure - try Security Key mechanism

Step 4: Try Hideez Key as OTP generator

We hope you have already tried this option while creating personal or shared accounts. But if not - it is time to start. Try this instruction to Set up two-factor authentication for your Gmail account.

Step 5: Set up two-factor authentication at HES server

Step 6: Data protection
