Add your PE credentials to Comply

To allow Comply to communicate with PE, you must add your PE credentials to Comply.

Before you begin
Make sure you have deployed Comply.

Adding your PE credentials authenticates Comply with Role Based Access Control (RBAC). Your PE account requires the following permissions:

  1. In Comply — located at https://<COMPLY-HOSTNAME>/ — click Settings.
  2. Enter your PE hostname, username, and password.
  3. Click Submit.
    Tip: You can refresh the PE node and fact information by clicking Refresh data.
