Tagging Connectors to Configure Access

You can control access for connectors with the usage of tags. The tags help you to organize your connectors and to manage user access to them. 

All the TotalCloud groups assigned to TotalCloud connectors have been migrated to Qualys tags. The sub-users, with the connector group assigned, are now assigned the equivalent tags. 

Tags

You can also apply tags to connectors and group or segregate connectors using specific tags for a connector. Use tags to provide access or restrict access to connectors you create.

Note: Managing access of connectors using tags will take at least 30 mins to reflect on TotalCloud for the user.

Assign Tags to Connector

You can only assign tags from the TotalCloud application if the connector hasn't been merged with the Connector application. 

Note: For the connectors that are merged with the connector application, you can assign tags in the connector application. For more information on assigning tags to merged connectors, refer to the Connector online help.

To assign tags to a connector that is not merged, follow the steps below.

1) Select the connector and choose the 'Assign Tag' option from the quick action menu.

2) Select an existing tag and click Add Tag

Alternatively, you can create a new tag. For detailed steps on how to create a new tag, refer to Configure Tags.

The selected tags are assigned to the connector.

Restrict User Access to all Connectors

If no tags are assigned to a user by default, the user can access all connectors. To restrict access to all connectors, you need to create a tag and not assign it to any connector but only to the user.
