Frequently asked questions

This page details frequently asked questions about Peer Manager.

Why am I unable to see the markings on a peer connection?

If you are unable to see the markings on a peer connection, then you may not have view access to the markings themselves. When this is the case, Peer Manager displays the Unknown marking icon. While data secured across Foundry with a marking you do not have access to will be hidden from your view, you can view the connection the data will travel across in Peer Manager but not its underlying data.

In many cases, this is caused by markings peered from a remote system. When a remote system adds markings to a peer connection, the local system automatically maps those markings to local markings. If no matching local marking exists, then the local system creates a new marking. Once created, nobody will have access by default, which causes the marking visibility issue. To resolve this, contact an administrator who can view all markings of a given category and request that they provide you view access to the new markings.
