Introducing Scope of Operations

With Capture Client 3.8, a new concept of Accounts is being introduced. Accounts are containers of multiple tenants and can be used to define global policies to be applied across multiple tenants managed by the same organizations – as is typical of Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs) or distributed enterprises that are split into multiple tenants for separate governance.

By default, all tenants will be created within a SonicWall-managed account, which will only have a default policy pre-configured but will not be updated. MSSPs and Distributed Enterprise customers can get their own accounts to better manage multiple tenants by submitting a request via Support.

With this change, there is now a multi-tier hierarchy of “scope of operations” within Capture Client. By selecting a scope from the Scope selector, your operations are made specific to the Account, Tenant, or Group. See Using Scope Selector. The available scopes are:

• Account scope
• Tenant scope
• Group scope
