Welcome to admin.chainbox.dk - your control panel for managing users and access.

Users

The first section you land on is the user list displaying any active users.

User list

Creating new users

New users can be created using the "Create user" button in the header of the user section. This will open a modal window prompting for the user name and e-mail. Choosing "Save" will create the new user and open the user details panel.

Create user modal

This will issue an e-mail to the user with a welcome message and a link to a page where they can select a password.

User details

The user details panel contains two tabbed sections: "Access" and "Info".

User access

The access section allows for selecting which applications the user has access to, by toggling the on/off switch for each app. User access is granted/revoked immediately.

User info

The info section has options for changing the user name and managing which divisions and roles the user is assigned (see below for more on division and roles). Furthermore this is where users can be blocked, deleted and issued a password reset.

Blocking users

Users can be blocked, temporarily taking away their access to any applications. Users can be unblocked at a later stage.

Block user dialog

Deleting users

Deleting a user removes it completely and any access is revoked. This operation cannot be undone.

Password reset

Issuing a password reset will revoke any active sessions, remove the user password, remove any registered multifactor authentication on the user and send a user an e-mail with instructions on creating a new password.

Settings

The settings section contains your general information on record, options for managing user roles and divisions, as well as the option to enfore multifactor authentication for your users.

Settings section

Require user MFA

Enabling this option will require your users to enable multi factor authentication for their Chainbox login. They will be prompted to do so when accessing their dashboard or any of their apps.

Divisions

It can sometimes be helpful to categorise staff into groups based on some property of the organisation. Divisions are just that. A division can describe a physical location, brand, branch or franchise. They are essentially just tags on the users to make it easier to navigate the user list.

Existing divisions are displayed in the list and a new division can be created using the button labeled "Create division". This will launch a modal window prompting for a label and an optional description.

Selecting "Create" will create the division after which it is displayed in the list.

Editing existing divisions can be done via the pen-icon next to each division in the list. This launches a modal with options to change the label and description.

Assigning users to divisions is done through the user list, activating the user details panel for a specific user. From here select the "Info" tab and select the checkbox next to the division.

Roles

User roles, like divisions, categorise the users with tags. These are different from divisions in that they can be used for fine-grained access management in your applications, i.e. the Customer application. A user role is typically a job title or a label describing a function but can be any string of text.

Existing roles are displayed in the list and a new user role can be created using the button labeled "Create role". This will launch a modal window prompting for a label and an optional description.

Selecting "Create" will create the role after which it is displayed in the list.

Filters

When users are assigned to divisions or roles the user list can be filtered by these along the always active text search filter.

Assigned divisions and roles are also displayed next to each user in the list.
