Administrators View

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

The Admins tab in the Xiid Connector Portal is used to manage Xiid Customers and Xiid Zones as well as view high-level information regarding the Connector Geocluster environment.

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 Connector 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.
