Administrators

Xiid's Commander Portal provides robust user management to allow for multiple administrators and auditors in the Commander environment.

Administrators in the Xiid Commander Portal are used to manage STLinks and Routes.

The Admins tab within the Commander Portal is used to manage users.

Administrators have two permission sets: Admin and Super Admin. Admins and Super Admins have the same permissions, except that Super Admins can create other Administrators.

Administrators can be required to set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) before they can sign in to the Commander Portal. The key information in the Administrators table are the ID and Account Type columns. Only Super Admins can see or navigate to the Admins tab.

Column	Description
ID	The username for the account and is used to sign in to the Commander Portal.
Account Type	Whether the account is an Admin or Super Admin account.
Email Address	The optional email address assigned to the user account.
Readonly Account	If the account can only view information on the Commander Portal but cannot make any changes.
MFA Required	Whether the user must set up MFA on their account before they can sign into the Commander Portal.
MFA Enabled	Whether the user has set up MFA for their account yet or not.
Last Login	The date and time that the user last signed into the Commander Portal.

Adding New Administrators

WARNING

If the + New Admin button is grayed out, hover over the button for more information. Your account may be read-only or you may need to set an initial set of Password Rules.
