Users and sessions

Accounts, roles, two-factor authentication and sessions.

On this page

Users

Manage accounts in Settings → Users. There are two roles:

Role Can
admin Do everything.
viewer See every application, log, metric and audit entry, but change nothing.

Viewers also can’t open container terminals, download backups or the master key, read environment variables, or browse stored files. These give far more access than “read-only” suggests.

  • Admins can change a user’s role, reset their password, or delete them.
  • The last admin account can’t be demoted or deleted.

Your account

Settings → Account changes your password. It signs out all your other sessions.

Two-factor authentication

Settings → Two-factor authentication:

  1. Click Set up 2FA.
  2. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app, or enter the secret by hand.
  3. Enter a code to confirm.

From then on, signing in asks for a code. To turn it off, confirm with your password.

Sign-in protection

After too many wrong passwords or 2FA codes, an address is refused for a while: by default, 5 failures within 15 minutes lock it out for 15 minutes.

  • While it is refused, the password isn’t even checked, so guessing stops being useful.
  • Failures are counted per address, not per account: someone guessing at admin can’t lock you out from elsewhere.
  • A successful sign-in clears the address’s count.
  • Every lockout is recorded in the audit log and the dashboard log.

Settings → Sign-in protection (admins only) sets the number of attempts (3 to 100) and the lock duration (1 minute to 24 hours), and lists the addresses refused right now, each with an Unblock button.

Locks are kept in memory: restarting the dashboard lifts them all.

Sessions

  • A session lasts 7 days.
  • Settings → Sessions → Sign out everywhere ends every session, yours included.

Appearance

Settings → Appearance picks the dashboard theme: Nebula (dark, default), Marathon, Nord, Synthwave, Terminal, Paper or Solarized (light). Each theme is shown as a small preview of the dashboard painted in it.
