Configuring Group-Based Notifications
This guide will help you configure the Groups feature to route login requests from specific machines to designated MS Teams channels. This is particularly useful for organizations with multiple Business Units or Lines of Business (LOBs) that require requests to be sent to different supervisory teams.
Step 1: Provisioning Groups
1. Contact Support:
Begin by contacting our support team to provision the necessary groups for your organization.
You will receive a list of Group IDs and their corresponding Subscription Keys after the groups are provisioned.
2. Receive Group Details:
The support team will provide you with:
Group IDs: Unique identifiers for each group.
Subscription Keys: Codes used to subscribe to specific MS Teams channels.
Step 2: Subscribing MS Teams Channels
Log into MS Teams: Open the MS Teams application and navigate to the channel where you want to receive the 2FA login requests.
Subscribe MS Teams Channel: Use the provided Subscription Key to subscribe the channel to requests for the corresponding group.
Step 3: Assigning Machines to Groups
During Installation
Install the Twosense Endpoint Agent:
During the installation of the endpoint agent on a machine, you will see a field labeled “Group ID” in the GUI installer.
Enter the Correct Group ID:
Enter the Group ID corresponding to the appropriate group for that machine.
Ensure that the correct Group ID is used to avoid misrouting requests.
Post-Installation (Using Registry Key or Group Policy)
Modify the Registry Key:
If you need to assign or change the Group ID after installation, modify the registry key on the machine.
Navigate to the registry path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TWOSENSE.AI\TwosenseAuthenticatorand update theGroupIdkey.
Using Group Policy:
You can also deploy Group IDs via Group Policy for multiple machines.
Update the Computer Configuration → Preferences → Windows Settings → Registry Group Policy to set the Group ID for each machine.
