Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection Administrator's Guide

Settings page

You can globally allow or remove the ability for external users to authenticate even when content has been shared with them. Enabling this setting allows all external users to authenticate and access shared content in Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection.

When the Only permit external full administrator users to authenticate option is enabled, only external users with Full Admin permissions can authenticate. This setting is disabled by default, and users with Full Admin permissions must enable it to authenticate.
