Assign users to emergency access
This article describes how to assign a user to Cerby Emergency Access for your workspace.
As a workspace Owner or Super Admin, you can assign up to three users to use emergency access. An assigned user can log in to your workspace with a registered security key if your identity provider becomes unavailable.
Requirements
This procedure requires the following:
The user you want to assign must be active and must log in to your workspace through your identity provider
Assign users to emergency access
To assign a user, you must complete the following steps:
Log in to your Cerby workspace.
Select Workspace Configuration from the left navigation drawer. The Workspace Configuration page is displayed.
Select the Emergency Access tab. The Emergency Access tab is displayed with your current list of assigned users.
Enter at least three characters of the member's name or email address in the search field. A list of matching, eligible members is displayed.
Select the member you want to assign.
Click the Designate button. A success message is displayed, and Cerby sends the member an enrollment email with a link to register a security key.
A workspace supports a maximum of three assigned emergency access users. When you reach this limit, the search field is replaced with a message telling you to remove an assignment before you can add another.
TIP: Assign people from different parts of your team, rather than users who report to the same manager or are likely to leave the organization together. This keeps emergency access available even if one assigned user is offboarded.
Now you are done.
