MSP Management

Question

Hi, 
 This looks pretty exciting. I seen in the release it mentioned it's use for MSP Partners. My question is, does that mean it's coming online in Central Partner for controlling customer firewalls (Firewalls attached to managed customer portals) or manually added to management in some other way? -- I'm guessing this would replace the current central firewall manager stuff... 
 
 If not, is this in the plans for anytime soon? 
 
 I could have all of our customer firewalls managed in our Central Admin account however I believe that would break heartbeat related function and whatnot... 
 
 Thanks.

Hey Andrew, 
 Full MSP support within the partner dashboard is planned, but isn't part of this release. You can manage customers one-customer-at-a-time from your CPD login, by connecting via SSO to each customer account. Full integration into CPD is very high on our priority list, primarily because it will make it easier for partners to move away from CFM sooner. This release is step one. Step two, will be to extend groups into the partner dashboard, similar to how other Sophos products are, using Global Policies.
