Deepfactor Release 3.6 Details

  1. Teams: With the 3.6 release, Deepfactor allows admins to structure users into teams so that each team gets an uncluttered and isolated access to only their applications. Admins can also configure fine-grained access control using roles within each team. Team and role configurations can be managed either in the SSO provider or in Deepfactor, based on the organization’s policies.
