MicroStrategy ONE
Creating a MicroStrategy Identity Network and Issuing an Administrator Badge
Your MicroStrategy Identity Network is comprised of users in your organization who can use MicroStrategy Badge to authenticate to systems integrated with MicroStrategy Identity.
You can create a network and associated badge dedicated to a group of users in your organization. This can include an employee network and badge, a visitors network and badge, and any other user group your organization contains.
When you create a new MicroStrategy Identity Network, the first account you create is automatically the Master Network Administrator for that network. These accounts are not linked to external directories or management systems so they cannot accidentally be deleted. To guarantee system configuration and management, there must always be at least two active Master Network Administrator accounts active before any can be deleted. You can designate up to five Master Network Administrators.
For MicroStrategy Cloud implementations, an initial MicroStrategy Identity Network is created for you. Follow the steps below to create additional networks.
To display a photo of yourself on your administrator badge, use a .jpg, .jpeg, or .png file.
To display custom images for your badge background and badge icon, prepare the following images:
- Badge icon: An image file that is at least 200 x 200 pixels.
- Badge background: An image file with a recommended size of 640 x 1136 pixels. You can upload this image from your computer, or you can link to an image from a website.
For on-premises implementations, if your organization has selected the Require Authentication box when configuring MicroStrategy Identity, then a user must log into MicroStrategy Identity Manager with an admin badge. If that box is not selected, anyone can create a new MicroStrategy Identity Network from the MicroStrategy Identity Manager landing page.
For MicroStrategy Cloud Platform for AWS or MicroStrategy Cloud Platform for Azure implementations, you must meet the following requirements to create a new network:
- You have downloaded MicroStrategy Badge and your badges. For steps, see your environment's welcome email.
- A Network Admin can log in to create new MicroStrategy Identity Networks.
To Create a Network and Badge
- Download MicroStrategy Badge on your device from Google Play™ or the App Store.
- For on-premises implementations, navigate to the server where you installed MicroStrategy Identity Manager and click Create a New Network.
- For MicroStrategy Cloud implementations:
- Log into the MicroStrategy Cloud portal.
