Prerequisites
To configure a PAA, you will need information from the Environment Setting screen including:
- Environment ID
- Authentication key
- Agent ID
This information is used to configure and set up communication between the PAA (Hybrid Operator), and the Platform (Hybrid Commander).Multiple PAAs can be created and managed within a Tenant and within an Environment. Each PAA belongs to a PAA Group (either with other PAAs, or as a PAA Group with only the one PAA that was created automatically when the PAA was added).- Tenant PAAs are listed in the Tenant Settings > Policy Authorization Tab > Policy Authorization Agent List.
- Environment PAAs are listed in the Environment Settings > Policy Authorization Tab > Policy Authorization Agent List.
