More InformationEpisode 3: First Login to Automic SaaS
The big moment: Marcin receives his login credentials for the Automic SaaS environment. He demonstrates the various endpoints (AWI, REST API, JCP for agents, and SFTP for archived data) and explains that access is only possible from whitelisted IP addresses. For designers and operators, the SaaS environment feels almost identical to the on-premise version—a significant advantage. However, upon closer inspection, some differences become apparent.

More InformationEpisode 4: A Tour of a Fresh Automic SaaS Environment
Marcin takes us on a tour of his new SaaS environment, which consists of two instances: one PROD and one TEST. Each instance includes access to client 0 and an additional client (typically client 100) for automation workflows. Notably, client 0 contains pre-installed ActionPacks that simplify agent installation. PROD environments are more robust than TEST environments, with additional processes like JCPs and JWPs.

More InformationEpisode 5: User Management in Automic SaaS
In this episode, Marcin demonstrates how to create and manage users and groups in a SaaS environment. Users can be created manually, imported via XML or REST API, or managed using transport cases. However, certain permissions are restricted in SaaS, as Broadcom handles system lifecycle management. Features like system upgrades or generating diagnostic information are unavailable to users.
