Firms

Firms are companies or organizations that collate the users, groups, and the assignment of data. Use the Firms page to add, edit, and delete firms. Data is associated with a firm for all repositories. Password requirements (such as strength, expiration range, and resusablity) for users can be configured for users at the Firm Level

You can also configure single sign-on (SSO) and two-factor authentication with the Firm page.

To open the Firms page

  • In the Nebula menu bar, click the Admin icon > Firms.
