What is an Activator?
An activator is a person who is authorized to activate a Byos Secure Edge. The terminology “Activator” can apply to any person who will be using Byos Endpoint Edges or any person deploying a Byos Secure Gateway Edge

What is an Activation Group?
Activators are collected into Activation Groups. These groups are assigned an Activator Class, which determines how many Edges an Activator can license.
- Single - Activators can only activate a single Edge.
- Multi - Activators can activate multiple Edges.
Add New Activation Group
- Name the Activation Group
- Select the Activation Class
- Select the Policy Group
- Policy Groups are also attached to Activation Groups. The Edges activated by the Activators in that Activation Group will be enrolled into the Policy Group upon activation.
- Input the Activator Emails
- This can be done by copy+paste the emails in the input,
- or by uploading a csv.
