An Umbrella identity represents a network entity, user, or group. You can add an identity to an Umbrella policy and enable security settings, and destination and content access controls. For information about Umbrella policies, see Umbrella Policies Overview.
Umbrella can identify a user, group, or network entity by:
- Public IP address
- Internal IP address and hostname
- Network device information
- IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) tunnel authentication: IKEv2 (Internet Key Exchange, version 2)
- Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
- Active Directory users and groups
- G Suite identity
The following table describes the Umbrella deployment and identity types.
Deployment | Identity | Description |
|---|
PAC file | | - Web policy only.
- Network identity required.
- Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication provides identity of browser traffic.
- Integrate SAML with Active Directory (AD) groups and users.
- For more information, see Manage Umbrella's PAC File.
