Securing a connection

The status of a connection appears in Connection status. A status of Connected (Additional setup required) indicates that Coro requires you to grant one or more permissions to connect.

Important

A previously connected application may show a status of Connected (Additional setup required). Your existing protection is not compromised, and you can reinstate a full Connected status by following the procedure shown here to grant the additional permissions.

Select the status link to display the Last heartbeat, which is when Coro last checked the cloud application, and the current permissions.
