Users & Roles

Users

When you create a new account on qbee.io, the first user is automatically given a default role. This role has full access to all areas of the platform. You have the ability to create new roles and assign these to any user. If a user is assigned multiple roles, they will have a combination of all the permissions from each of their roles. This means they can access and use everything allowed by each of their roles.

Using one mail address for multiple accounts

qbee identifies the accounts by the user mail address. This means that you cannot use the same mail address for multiple accounts. If you need to create users in multiple accounts we recommend to extend your mail address with a "+org". So user@example.com can create a new user having the following address: user+org2@example.com. All mails and communication will be received in the original user mailbox while the user name is uniquely associated with the second account.

Users management

To see a list of all users, go to the Users section (top-right menu). From here you can see and search all users in your company, add new users, edit, disable and delete existing users.

Remote Access

Allowing remote access for users

In order to give a user remote access to devices, it needs to have a role assigned with the remote-access:connect permission set. All access attempts will appear in the audit log with a detailed entry which device was accessed.
