Integrate SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted with ARM to see user access rights details in the web console

When you integrate SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted with SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM), you can view user access rights across supported systems, such as Active Directory, SharePoint or Exchange in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console.

This gives you a single-pane-of-glass view of the top security events and issues and enables you to launch in-context into ARM, reducing the time necessary to identify issues.

Integrate with ARM

If HTTPS is used, valid certificates are required. If self-signed certificates are used, you must install the necessary ARM certificates on the server running SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted before you establish the connection.

  1. Click Settings > All Settings in the menu bar.

  2. Under Product Specific Settings, click Security Settings.

  3. Under Getting Started with Security, click Access Rights Manager Settings. The settings dialog opens.

  4. Enter the Base URL of your ARM server.

  5. Enter your ARM credentials.

  6. Click Submit.
