Custom Access Details

Add customized messages for your end users

In the Apono User Portal, an end user can request access to a resource. Upon connection, the end user sees the access details of the resource.

Apono provides instructions in the User Portal to explain how to start using the connected resource, along with CLI commands and related parameters.

In addition to the Apono-provided information, you can add custom access details in a Message box that appears in the User Portal. Custom access details allow you to convey all information the end user needs without disrupting the connection process.

Custom access details offer the following benefits:

• Streamline access management

• Communicate integration-specific information to end users

• Provide additional support resources
