Nitro Application User Management
To access Nitro quicker and more easily, admins can create a Nitro Application User that allows users to log in once to access all the Nitro applications, for example, Nitro Admin Console and Nitro databases (Redshift) for which they have permissions.
- Admins can manage access to Nitro applications for a user by assigning it to an application role
- Admins can create, enable, disable, edit, and view users in the NAC
