Edit folder - Business Hours

Highlight uses business hours when displaying traffic trend graphics, for filtering report results, and when generating alerts.

See the Business Hours page for further details on the settings involved.

Edit folder - Features

Use this tab to enable or control features, such as SLA reporting and AppVis.

For a general overview on SLA Now, watch the SLA Now video.

Settings on a parent folder are inherited in subfolders unless overridden.

Users with the Manage folders/locations permission can see the Features tab but not enable or disable SLA Now unless they also have the Edit watches permission. Users without the Edit watches permission will see the message You don't have permission to change this

This section is only visible if AppVis is enabled for this folder. Setting this folder as an application domain means AppVis applications can be assigned to groups which will be visible in this folder and in any subfolders. The check box is disabled if an application domain is already set in a parent folder. If you have visibility of that folder Defined in shows the path to that parent folder.

Edit folder - CCD

If displayed, this tab provides the means to set the class names of interest for Highlight to autodiscover and report on.

See the Define Classes section on the Class Autodiscovery page for further information about class discovery.

See the CCD page for full details on the settings involved.

Edit folder - Domain

Edit folder - Authentication

Highlight supports multi-factor authentication and single sign-on through a process called Federated Authentication where password authentication is handed off to a third-party OAuth directory (typically Microsoft Azure AD).

Users with both the Manage folders/locations and Manage authentication permissions can edit the Authentication section

Use this tab for administering federated authentication (SSO) on a folder. This applies to all users at this folder level and below.

Status	Enabled or Disabled, disabled keeps the information in Highlight but not applied
Provider	Currently the only option is OIDC
Name	Enter a unique name for the authentication provider. The name can be up to 50 characters including a-z, 0-9 and dash. The name will be stored in lower case. This field is required.
Authority URL	Enter a valid Https URL up to 1024 characters for an OIDC provider. If Highlight cannot acquire a discovery document for the URL entered, then the URL is not recognised as an OIDC provider. This field is required.
Client ID	Enter up to 50 characters for the Client ID. This field is required.
Client Secret	This can be up to 1024 characters and is obscured on input. This field is required.
Email domains	Enter a comma-separated list of domain names up to 2048 characters in total. This field is required.
New users	Create Highlight account for unknown users Check to have Highlight automatically create these accounts if the user has not previously logged in but has passed the authentication checks by the third-party provider. This is useful as new staff joining an organisation will be able to log into Highlight with no other admin intervention. Auto-created users have no expiry date and the standard permissions (which include viewing heat tiles and details page, creating alerts and running reports). Extra admin permissions can be granted by other admin users if required.
