## What is Agilicus AnyX?

[CONTACT](https://www.agilicus.com/contact-us/)

Agilicus AnyX is a cloud-based **zero trust network access** platform. It gives 
users secure, granular access to an organisation’s applications, desktops, file 
shares, databases, and other resources without a traditional virtual private network(
VPN) and without exposing any inbound network ports.

The platform is built on three capabilities that work together:

 1. **Unified authentication.** Users sign in with their existing corporate credentials(
    single sign-on). The platform integrates with identity providers such as Google,
    Microsoft, Apple, Active Directory, and Yahoo, so there are no shadow accounts 
    to maintain. When a user leaves the organisation, their access is decommissioned
    automatically because their identity goes with them.
 2. **Precise authorisation.** Access is granted per user, per resource, down to the
    individual role or application. An administrator can give one user read-only access
    to a remote desktop and another user full control, all within the same portal. 
    There is no all-or-nothing network access.
 3. **Seamless access.** Users connect from any network, including carrier-grade network
    address translation, with nothing to install for browser-based access. A lightweight
    connector runs outbound from your site to the Agilicus cloud, so your resources
    are never directly reachable from the internet.

## The administrative portal

This guide documents the **administrative portal**: the web interface at your organisation’s
admin domain where you manage every part of the platform. Through the portal you
can:

 * manage your organisation, sub-organisations, and billing;
 * configure how users authenticate (identity providers, multi-factor authentication,
   sign-in theming);
 * create and manage users, groups, service accounts, and permissions;
 * define and secure resources: web applications, file shares, desktops, databases,
   SSH services, launchers, and networks;
 * deploy and monitor connectors that link your sites to the cloud;
 * apply policies that control who can access what, when, and from where;
 * review audit logs, sessions, and metrics; and
 * diagnose access problems.

The portal is organised into the sections shown below.
