Managing user accounts and access permissions for the agents
In a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, the cloud provider fully hosts, manages, and maintains the application and all underlying infrastructure. The customer only uses the service and remains responsible for configuring user access, identities (such as managing accounts and permissions), and securing their own data and devices.
