Console guide

The Sectigo Edge console is where tenant administrators and operators watch trust health, manage certificates and Mesh Nodes, change cryptographic policy, and respond to incidents. This section walks through every console screen in the order it appears in the navigation.

Each page follows the same layout:

  • What it's for: the job the screen does.
  • What you see: a screenshot and a description of each panel.
  • Common tasks: numbered steps for the actions you can take.
  • Reference: fields, statuses and messages exactly as the console shows them.
  • Permissions: which product role can view the screen and perform each action.
  • Troubleshooting: what common messages mean and what to do next.
Screenshots use demo data

Screenshots come from the built-in demo workspace (Acme Corporation). The demo shows a DEMO DATA pill in the top bar and some buttons are labelled Simulate…. In your own workspace those buttons perform real, audited actions, and status text is derived from your own data. Where the two differ, the page explains both.

The left navigation lists the screens in three blocks. The first block has no heading; the other two are labelled Control and Operate:

BlockScreens
(no heading)Trust health, Certificates, Mesh nodes, Downloads & install, Service claims, Crypto posture, Trust graph, Migrations, Rotation
ControlCAs & signing, Revocation, Policies, Access, Audit evidence, Trust events
OperateIntegrations, Incidents

The demo workspace adds an End-to-end demo item under Guided tour.

The bottom of the sidebar shows your edge connection state and your profile button. The top bar shows the current screen, an overall status pill and a Refresh button that reloads all console data.

The console navigation drawer open on a phone-sized screen
On small screens the navigation opens as a drawer from the menu button in the top bar.

Privileged actions​

Most changes in the console are privileged. Before you start, know these rules:

  • Fresh MFA. Privileged actions need a session where you completed MFA within the last ten minutes. If yours is older, the action is rejected and you need to sign in again.
  • Two people. Activating a policy, approving a migration plan, closing a migration recovery and resuming issuance after a pause each need a second, different person. The console disables the approve button for the person who made the request.
  • Typed confirmations. Publishing a CRL, refreshing OCSP responses and the break-glass controls ask you to type an exact phrase, such as REFRESH CRL.
  • Roles. What you can do depends on your product role. See Access & roles for the full permission table.
