Administer Users and Licenses for Cisco AppDynamics (APM400)

The Administer Users and Licenses for Cisco AppDynamics (APM400) training shows that Cisco AppDynamics uses a role-based access control model to assign permissions to users and groups. In this training, you will learn how to create users locally, as well as how to manage your company’s users in Cisco AppDynamics using an external Identity Provider (IDP), specifically, Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) IDP in this training. You’ll create roles and groups to assign permissions to users. You will also explore the differences between the agent-based licensing (ABL) model and infrastructure-based licensing (IBL) model and learn how to migrate from ABL to IBL.
