Enable Users to Install the 探花大神 Agent

This feature lets end users remotely install the 探花大神 agent on devices sent to them from your org so that you can easily add their devices to your 探花大神-managed device fleet. 

You can bind macOS, Windows, and Linux devices to 探花大神 using our device agent. You can also enable remote install of the 探花大神 agent from the User Portal for all users in your org. This install method allows new hires or existing employees receiving new devices to install the current agent for their device from a remote location. After users download and install the agent on their device, Admins are notified that a new device has come online and is now available to be bound to the 探花大神 user in the Admin Portal.

Prerequisites:

  • The 探花大神 agent can only be installed on supported devices that meet 探花大神鈥檚 device requirements. See Agent Compatibility, Device Requirements, and Impacts to learn more.
  • For macOS devices on version 11.0 or later, a local 探花大神 Service Account is created. During install, credentials for a SecureToken-enabled user are required for support with SecureToken in conjunction with FileVault. See Install and Use the Service Account for MacOS to learn more.
  • Users need Admin-level access on their device to install the 探花大神 Agent. See Admin Portal Roles to learn more.
  • 探花大神 Agent install requires a Connect key. This key is generated from the User Portal and is pasted into the install wizard for macOS & Windows installations. Linux users paste the Connect key into their terminal window as a part of the installation command. Jump to Remote Agent Installation Flow.
    • User-generated Connect keys are valid for one hour.

Considerations:

  • Users can install the Agent from any device that they can access their User Portal from. Ensure that your users only install the Agent on devices that your org wants to manage through 探花大神.
  • MacOS users that don鈥檛 have a SecureToken may require additional support. We recommend that if you know a macOS user who doesn鈥檛 have a SecureToken, see Install and Use the Service Account for MacOS to learn more.
  • After the Agent is installed on a user鈥檚 device, Admins need to bind the 探花大神 user to the device in the Admin Portal for the 探花大神 Agent to start managing the device for the user. You can bind users who have self-installed the Agent from the Devices list. See Bind Users to Devices to learn more.聽聽
  • If a user installs the Agent on a device that already has the Agent installed, 探花大神 upgrades the Agent to the downloaded version. Emails aren鈥檛 sent to the Admin if a user upgrades their device鈥檚 Agent.聽
  • Currently, we don鈥檛 provide any error notifications to the Admin if a user鈥檚 install fails. 
  • Educate your users about remote install before you enable this functionality for your org. Jump to Educating Your Users About Remote Agent Installation.

Remote Agent Installation Flow

  1. A 探花大神 Admin educates their org users about their upcoming enablement of remote Agent installs.
  2. The Admin enables remote Agent install for their org.
  3. The User Portal Security page shows the 探花大神 Agent section with the current agent for each operating device.
  4. The Admin requests a user to download and install the Agent on their device.
  5. The 探花大神 user logs into their User Portal and goes to the Security page to download the Agent, and follows the OS-specific install instructions in the User Portal. See Install the 探花大神 Agent from the User Portal to learn more.聽聽
  6. After the user successfully installs the Agent, all org Admins receive an email that a new device has come online for the 探花大神 user and can now be bound to that user in the Admin Portal. This email includes the device鈥檚 hostname.聽
  7. The Devices list shows information about the device including the device鈥檚 name and who installed the Agent. From here, Admins can bind users to their devices.

You don鈥檛 need to do anything unless we ask you to. Please don鈥檛 install the agent on your computer unless we ask you to.
