  • This article explains how to hide or show Accessible Agent information on User Dashboard.
  • RSA Authentication Manager 8.6 P1 adds ability to hide or show agents in the User Dashboard. By default, the User Dashboard shows the agents that are associated with an individual user. When users are associated with hundreds of agents, you can choose to hide the agent information to avoid performance issues.
