You just need to work your way through the list below.

IMPLEMENTAION - FIRST STAGE

1. Subscribe to The Essentials Suite - a description of this subscription can be found here and you can complete the subscription signup form here

2. Provide us with access to your email provider - you need to invite us as an administrative user on your email account so we can install a security agent. Instructions are provided below. If you have any issues, don’t know who your email provider is, or its neither Microsoft or Google please let us know by emailing info@bvigilant.ca

  • These steps will need to be performed by a Microsoft 0365 admin:

    • Login as an admin at https://admin.microsoft.com

    • Click on Users – Active Users

    • Click Add a User

    • Fill in the user details, We like to use the name Tech Support and the email tech@yourdomain

    • Tick the "generate password automatically" box

    • Tick the "send password on completion" and enter the email address support@bvigilant.ca

    • Click Next, Tick "Create user without product license (not recommended)."

    • Click Next

    • On the Roles page, Tick Admin Center Access, and tick "Global Administrator"

    • Click Next

    • Click Finish.

    Once completed, send an email to support@bvigilant.ca to let us know. We will then get the phishing and Security Awareness Training modules of your security package enabled for you.

  • These steps will need to be performed by a G-suite admin:

    • Login as an admin at https://admin.google.com

    • Click Directory, Click Users, Click Add a new user

    • Set the user name to tech support, and the email to tech@yourdomain

      Once the user is added, we need to be given administrative rights.

    • Back at Directory -> Users in the Google admin panel.

    • Scroll down on the right side to Admin Roles and Privileges, and click the arrow at the right of that section.
