    - Unica Platform features
      Unica Platform provides security, configuration, notification, and dashboard features for Unica products.
    - Licensing - overview
    - HCL Unica user account management
      You can manage the attributes of user accounts created using Unica Platform user interface, which we refer to as internal accounts. This is in contrast to external user accounts, which are imported from an external system such as an LDAP server or web access control system.
    - Security management
      Unica Platform supports roles and permissions to control user access to objects and features in Unica applications.
    - Configuration management
      When Unica is first installed, the Configuration page shows only the properties used to configure Unica Platform and some global configuration properties. When you install additional Unica applications, the properties used to configure these applications are registered with Unica Platform. These properties are then shown on the Configuration page, where you can set or modify their values.
    - Dashboard management
      Dashboards are configurable pages that contain information useful to groups of users who fill various roles within your company. The components that make up dashboards are called portlets. Dashboards can contain pre-defined portlets or portlets that you create.
    - The HCL Unica Scheduler
      The Unica Scheduler enables you to configure a process to run at intervals that you define.
    - SAML 2.0 based federated authentication
      Unica Platform implements a SAML 2.0 based Identity Provider (IdP) that enables a single sign-on federation among Unica products or between Unica products and third party applications.
    - SAML 2.0 single sign-on
      Unica Platform supports SAML 2.0 based single sign-on.
    - Single sign-on between HCL Unica and IBM Digital Analytics
      If your organization uses IBM Digital Analytics, you can enable single sign-on between Digital Analytics and Unica.
    - Integration between HCL Unica and Windows Active Directory
      Unica Platform can be configured to integrate with Windows™ Active Directory server or another LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server. By integrating Unica with a directory server, you can maintain users and groups in one centralized location. Integration provides a flexible model for extending the enterprise authorization policies into Unica applications. Integration reduces support costs and the time needed to deploy an application in production.

    - Security framework for HCL Unica APIs
      Unica Platform provides the security framework for the APIs implemented by Unica products.
    - Data filter creation and management
      Data filters make it possible to restrict the customer data that an Unica user can view and work with in Unica applications. You can think of the data you secure with a data filter as a data set defined by the fields in your customer tables that you specify.
    - Audit event tracking in HCL Unica
      You can configure which audit events are tracked and assign a severity level to each tracked event.
    - The Unica Platform system log
      You should check the system log first if the Unica Platform application malfunctions. The system log is independent of the security audit information, which is stored in the system tables. While the system log tracks some of the same information contained in the security audit reports, it also contains information useful in troubleshooting Unica Platform.

Alert and notification subscriptions

Users can choose to have system alerts and notifications delivered in emails, if Unica Platform is configured to send them. They can also select the level to which they subscribe.

For example, they can choose to receive only Critical system alerts, and receive all notifications. The subscription levels differ depending on the product that is sending the system alerts and notifications.

Note: All system alerts are always delivered in pop-up windows when users log in to Unica. Users cannot control these by changing their subscriptions.

When users log in to Unica, the System alerts window is displayed only if there are any new or unread alerts. Users can mark an alert as read by selecting the alert and clicking Mark as read in the System alerts window.
