KRMC Hosted - Settings Page - Administrative Settings

Administrative Settings allows you to create or change the Administrative Password. The Administrative Password is a system-wide password that is required when creating security sensitive actions like Change User Password. Click on the save button to create or change the Administrative Password. Creating or changing the Administrative Password will create a new action for all devices registered with this KRMC Hosted account.  Note: If “Hide Device Message” is enabled, the users will not receive any notification from the Defender that the action was received.

With KRMC Hosted Premium, Super Administrators (SA) also have additional options available to them within Administrative Settings.

Force 2 Factor Authentication for Administrators logging into KRMC Hosted.

• When enabled, all current admins will be required to log in to KRMC Hosted using both their login password as well as an authentication code delivered by e-mail or with Google Authenticator. Any new administrators created while this option is enabled will also be required to login with 2FA.  The default 2FA methodology setup utilizing this option is e-mail however if you want to change this to Google Authenticator for individual accounts, please click HERE.
  • Important! If you disable “Force 2 Factor Authentication” from the Administrative Settings Tab, it will only prevent new administrators who are created after this option is disabled from having to use 2FA during login by default. Any administrators that previously had to login with 2FA will still have to do so. To disable the requirement for an administrator to login using 2FA, it must be manually disabled for the individual administrators.

Require Administrative Password when creating an action to Change User Password on a managed Defender drive.

• When enabled, all administrators with permissions to perform a Change User Password action will be required to enter the Administrative Password before the action can be sent to the user. 
  • Note: This will require all administrators to know that the Administrative Password is as it will not be unique per administrator.

Create a Disable action for drives that have not checked in with the server within a predefined period.

• When enabled, after a predefined period of time elapses since the Defender has last communicated with KRMC Hosted a disable action will be automatically generated for the device.  Users receive two emails during this process with the first being 10-day prior to the event occurring and the second being 1-day before the event occurring.
  • Note: If you have drives that have not completed the setup process yet and the SA chooses, these drives can be skipped for this disable feature.
