Manage Onboarded Accounts

Requires admin permissions

This topic describes how to onboard and manage cloud accounts in AlgoSec Cloud Enterprise, including Azure subscriptions, AWS accounts, and Google Cloud projects.

A single account onboarding and management page is accessible from both Cloud Network Security and Cloud App Analyzer, but it appears under different page names in each. The available capabilities depend on where you access it from: when you open the page from Cloud Network Security, you can also create and manage account groups, a feature that applies only to Cloud Network Security.

Access the page

  • In ACE Cloud Network Security

    1. Hover over the Settings icon at the bottom-left of the screen.

    2. After the panel expands, click Accounts Management. The Accounts Management page opens.

      The page has tabs for the following workflows:

  • In ACE Cloud App Analyzer

    • In the Settings/Configurations section of the left side menu, go to Onboarding > Onboarding Management.

      The Onboarding Management page opens.

Manage Your Onboarded Accounts

This section describes how to manage onboarded accounts in ACE.

In Cloud Network Security, this functionality appears on the Accounts Management page Account Onboarding tab.

In Cloud App Analyzer, this functionality appears directly on the Onboarding Management page.

The page displays three summary boxes above the table, each showing the number of onboarded accounts for a specific cloud provider.

Note: These boxes do not appear for tenants that were onboarded using the older, Cloud Network Security-specific onboarding method, which was used before unified onboarding was introduced.

The page provides the following actions:

Action Description

Launch the onboarding wizard to onboard accounts, subscriptions, or projects. The wizard supports onboarding only through the CloudFormation or With Script methods.

For other onboarding methods, see the provider-specific onboarding instructions at Onboarding Accounts, Subscriptions, and Projects.
