Getting Started with the Absolute App

Getting Started with the Absolute App

Accessing the Console

  1. Open a supported web browser and navigate to the Absolute login portal: https://app.absolute.com.
  2. Enter your administrator username and password.
  3. Click 'Sign In'.
Upon login, you will be presented with the main dashboard. This is your centralized view for monitoring your entire fleet of devices.
Key sections and widgets to explore include:
  1. Device Inventory Overview: A summary of your total enrolled devices and their status.
  2. Alerts & Notifications: Highlights critical security alerts, warnings, or pending issues that require your attention.
  3. Fleet Health: Provides insights into devices that may be at risk or non-compliant with your policies.
Next Navigation Step: To view a detailed list of all devices, navigate to Devices > All Devices. Here you can use filters to view devices by platform (Windows, macOS, ChromeOS), policy status, or last check-in time.

Configuring Essential Initial Settings

Before broad deployment, we recommend configuring these core areas:
  1. Define Your Policies (Crucial Step)
    1. Navigate to the Policies section.
    2. Here you can configure security and application resilience rules. For example, create a policy to ensure critical security applications (like your antivirus) are always enabled and cannot be tampered with or uninstalled.
      1. Note: The ability to make third-party applications persistent using the Application Resilience policy is only available for customers with Absolute Resilience licensing or higher.
  2. Manage Users and Roles
    1. To invite other IT staff to the console, navigate to Admin > Users and click Add User.
    2. Assign appropriate roles (e.g., Administrator, Read-Only User) to maintain proper access control.
  3. Set Up Notifications
    1. Navigate to Admin > Notifications.
    2. Configure email or console alerts to be notified of critical events, such as a device going offline or a policy being violated.
  4. Review Licenses
    1. Navigate to the Licensing section to verify your available licenses and allocate them to devices as needed.
