|---|---|
|
To access and utilize Strata Visions, your Strata Cloud Manager
tenant must have at least one Strata Visions related product SKU
provisioned. The visibility of specific Strata Visions and the items
within them is determined by your entitlements (SKU) and Role-Based
Access Control (RBAC) permissions.
The features and capabilities available to you in Strata Cloud Manager depend on which license(s) you are using. |
Strata Visions provides a tailored administrative experience that aligns the Strata Cloud
Manager user interface with your immediate priorities. Using an intent-based model,
Strata Cloud Manager displays the specific tools you need for your specific mission,
whether it's Quantum Resilience or Next-Gen Trust Security (Certificate Lifecycle
Management). This organization improves navigation and provides more focussed task
management. For example, the workspace displays different toolsets for a Quantum Lead
compared to a PKI administrator managing certificate lifecycles.
When you select a Vision, Strata Cloud Manager filters the navigation menu to show pages
designed for that specific workflow. This view keeps your workspace clean and ensures
that your most frequent tasks are easily accessible.
As you expand your Palo Alto Networks® deployment, Strata Visions integrates the new
modules into these specific workflow views.
Launch Strata Visions
Log in to Strata Cloud Manager and access Strata Visions via the Strata Visions
switcher located in the left navigation panel.
Strata Visions lists all visions available to you based on your licenses and user
roles.
- See Everything: For first-time access, Strata Cloud Manager automatically sets a default vision based on your primary product. If no specific focus is determined, the view defaults to See Everything.
- Switching views: Change your view by selecting a vision in the
Strata Visions switcher. Strata Cloud Manager
automatically saves your selection and reloads that vision the next time you log in.

Strata Visions organizes workflows into three core administrative goals: Monitor,
Investigate, and Configure. Your active product license determines which Strata
Visions you can access in Strata Cloud Manager. The interface uses a split
navigation structure to maintain context while reducing clutter.
- Global Navigation: The L1 navigation bar remains consistent across all visions to provide a stable framework. The color-coded application header indicates your active security context.
- Left Navigation: The left navigation menu automatically updates based on
the active Strata Vision, hiding irrelevant items to present a task-focused
view. Content is organized as follows:
- Monitor: View high-level overviews, health indicators, connectivity status, and performance metrics to identify urgent tasks under Command Center, Insights, and Reports.
- Investigate: Analyze anomalies, hunt for threats, and review logs, events, and alerts to determine the root cause of incidents under Incidents and Log Viewer.
- Configure: Perform proactive tasks such as creating security rules, managing device settings, customizing policies, and deploying configurations under Configuration and System Settings.
