Generating a registration token

A registration token passes the identity of a user to the agent setup program, without storing the user credentials for the Cyber Protect console. This enables users to register any number of machines under their account without having to log in.

For security reasons, the tokens have limited lifetime, which you can adjust. The default lifetime is 3 days.

Users can generate registration tokens only for their own accounts. Administrators can generate registration tokens for all user accounts in the tenant that they manage.

To generate a registration token

As an administrator

    If you are already signed in to the management portal, you can go to the Cyber Protect console by navigating to Monitoring > Usage, and then, under the Protection tab, clicking Manage service.

    [For partner administrators who manage customer tenants] In the Cyber Protect console, select the tenant with the user for whom you want to generate a token. You cannot generate a token on the All customers level.

    When you use the token, workloads will be registered under the user account that you select here.

  6. [Optional] To enable the user of the token to apply and revoke a protection plan on the added workloads, select the plan from the drop-down list.

    Note that you will need to run a script that will apply or revoke a protection plan on the added workloads. Refer to this knowledge base article for more details.
