About Accessing the Platform

ThreatQ allows you to securely manage access via user accounts with logins and password. 

After you log in, you can use the main menu to navigate ThreatQ.  Within ThreatQ, your view and options are based on your user account settings and permissions. 

User Account Authentication

User accounts can be authenticated locally within ThreatQ or externally using LDAP, SAML, or SSL Client Certificate authentication.  In addition, you can implement 2-Step Verification at the user account level for additional security.  Once enabled, the user needs a login, password, and authentication code to access ThreatQ.

Session Timeout

User sessions time out after sixty minutes of inactivity. Users with Maintenance Account and Administrative Access  can update this setting or, disable session timeouts for a specific user. See the Editing a User section of the Managing User Accounts topic for more details.

The initial account created when installing ThreatQ does not have a session time by default. However, one can be configured for the account.
