Set up

Add Microsoft Outlook to Zed in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Zed then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Approve Microsoft Outlook in Runlayer

    Add Microsoft Outlook from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

  2. 2

    Connect Zed to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Zed by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Zed reaches Microsoft Outlook’s 37 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Microsoft Outlook

    Sign in the way Microsoft Outlook requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Microsoft Outlook from Zed

    Microsoft Outlook’s approved tools appear in Zed. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Zed

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Zed exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Microsoft Outlook call from Zed passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Zed as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Zed yet, so control happens at the gateway.
