Prepare

Before you begin, prepare your use case for Tenable MSSP Portal.

To plan your use case for Tenable MSSP Portal:

  1. Get your Tenable MSSP Portal access information and starter account credentials from your Tenable representative.

  2. Identify the users in your organization that you want to have access to Tenable MSSP Portal, and gather appropriate information (e.g., email address, appropriate user permissions).

  3. Compile a list of Tenable Vulnerability Management customer accounts you want to monitor through Tenable MSSP Portal, and gather appropriate information (e.g., email address, company name, and address).

Create Tenable MSSP Portal Users

Create users for any administrators you want to have access to Tenable MSSP Portal.

Establish a Tenant Naming Convention

Tenable recommends using your real email address as your Tenable MSSP Portal username since you have to log in to the portal on a regular basis to manage your customers.

Tenable recommends using a naming convention such as [email protected] as the “Primary Admin” on “Child tenants”.

You can create usernames under the same domain as the “Primary Admin”. If your service allows your customers to log in directly to their Tenable tenant, then you can add the customer's domain as an approved domain. This allows you to create usernames under your customer’s domain. For more information, see Add a Domain to your Account

Use Single Sign-On to Access a Customer Tenable Vulnerability Management Instance
