Custom users

Use the Main > Policy Management > Resources > Custom Users page in the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager to add or manage custom users—that is, users that are not part of the user directory.

If you are using Risk-Adaptive Protection to determine actions permitted according to the user’s risk level, you can see the Risk Level of each user in the list. A value of 1 to 5 is shown only for users that were assigned to Risk-Adaptive Protection. Level 1 is set for users that are considered less risky for the organization; level 5 is for users that are considered to be most risky. The values are determined by Forcepoint Behavioral Analytics and sent to Forcepoint DLP.
