Zurich Cyber Security Awareness: How to manage users

User management user creation

User email addresses uniquely identify each user in the Zurich Cyber Security Awareness Platform and are needed to provide access to the E-learning platform and send Phishing Simulations.

You will see two configuration options the first time you access User management.

Warning: Only one user management method can be active at a time.

To switch methods, you must first delete all existing users from the current setup.

This action is irreversible and will permanently erase all user data, including training history and reporting.

Analytics Viewer

  • Read-only access to real-time analytics dashboards and client KPIs

  • Can download reports and data exports for internal analysis

  • Ideal for stakeholders who need visibility into training results but don’t manage configurations
