Description

Monitor

Settings

Disabled

Disables the Monitor module.

At least one Monitor module must be enabled in your encryption system. If all Monitor modules are disabled, no certificate or SSH key expiration events are generated . If multiple Monitor modules are enabled on Trust Protection Platform servers throughout your network, the modules coordinate expiration event monitoring so expiration events are not duplicated.

General Tab

Permissions tab

On the Permissions tab, you select the users or groups to whom you want to grant permissions to the current object. Then, you select which permissions you want the users or groups to have. You can also manage object permissions via parent objects, including the root Platform object or the Trust Protection Platform server object (found in the Platforms tree).

If you configure Permissions in a parent object, those permissions are inherited by all subordinate objects.
