What is the difference between User and Administrator accounts?

Modified on Fri, 25 Oct at 11:56 AM

In the Rublon MFA platform, two primary types of accounts serve distinct purposes within an organization: User accounts and Administrator accounts.


User Accounts

User accounts represent the individuals who sign in to various applications integrated with Rublon Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

Users access applications such as VPNs, Remote Desktop Services, cloud apps, and other resources that require secure authentication.

Users are listed in the Users tab of the Rublon Admin Console.

Users do not have access to the Rublon Admin Console.

Administrator Accounts

Administrator accounts are designated for individuals responsible for managing the organization's MFA settings through the Rublon Admin Console.


Depending on their role, administrators can view and manage various tabs in the Admin Console, including but not limited to Applications, Users, Groups, Policies, and Billing.


Administrators are listed in the Administrators tab of the Rublon Admin Console.


Administrators cannot use their Administrator accounts to sign in to applications integrated with Rublon MFA. They need separate User accounts for that purpose.
