Account security
Enable additional security for all users
To further secure your Maglr environment as an administrator, it's possible to force the users in your environment to enable an additional layer of security when logging in to the platform. This can either be forced upon all users simultaneously, or enabled per user separately. Securing your Maglr environment There are two available layers of security to enable in Maglr. It's not possible to have both of these options enabled at the same time: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): thisFew readersEnable Two-Factor Authentication for your account
Two-Factor Authentication adds a third layer of security to your account. Besides logging in with an e-mail address and password, you'll be asked to enter a code you can find in either the Google- or Microsoft Authenticator apps on your smartphone. Only when entering the correct code (which refreshes every 30 seconds), you'll be successfully logged into Maglr.

Single Sign-on (SSO) is the perfect method for authentication, where your already existing login details can be used to log in to several different applications.

SSO helps you and your organisation to centrally manage login credentials and enforce restrictions across multiple applications, like Two-Factor Authentication and password strength.Few readers

Once you have created and shared your publication, you obviously want to know how it is performing in terms of visited pages, time per session and interactions. It's nice to know how many people have visited your publication and how long they were visiting it, or which pages were the most popular.

Enterprise security options
Enterprise SSO integration
Within the Enterprise licence of Maglr, it is possible to secure a publication or complete domain. With the standard options, we offer security based on a password or secured link. With this secured link, you get direct access to a publication. These security methods work but are not always the best approach when you are sharing content with a bigger audience. If someone grabs hold of the password or secret link, everyone has direct access to the content. CliSome readersIP security & access to Maglr
IP security can be a simple solution if you desire that publications can only be viewed as a means of internal communications. Maglr can grant access to (multiple) fixed IP addresses. Meaning, only users at a specific IP address (or logged in via a corporate VPN) have access to the publications of the underlying secured domain.Few readersPersonal auto-login links (REST API)
