UnityIS FAQs

UnityIS Cloud can be configured to manage multiple tenants. The system allows partitioning to be done by devices and personnel records. Thus making the system as granular as needed for any operator.

Each cloud site is assigned to an IMRON technical specialist who will have administrator level access to everything in the system for troubleshooting and configuration purposes only. If access needs to be limited, then the customer can request this from their specialist.

All operators must sign into UnityIS using their unique login. Each operator is pre-assigned to a profile which allows them to access various parts of the software. Profiles also determine which devices and personnel records are visible throughout the system. Hardware can be grouped by Controller Groups or by sites, and each profile can be assigned to designated site(s).

The first step would be to Identify what was breached and the root cause. If an operator's account was compromised, then all operators should be required to change their password and use SSO MFA. If a server breach occurred, then a new server would be restored from a backup with a new administrator account.
