User Management with OpenDrive

19 Dec 2013 | Under General | Posted by | 0 Comments

OpenDrive plays a pivotal role in giving businesses complete control over how their users have access to view and edit files stored in the cloud. Maintaining a well-structured layout, in which a user has access to selected file types, is a perfect way to keep a business organized from anywhere and any device that has access to an OpenDrive account. From within your account, you are provided with 5 options designed to make user management simple and quick, yet secure and powerful.

Add User

Adding users is easier than ever with OpenDrive. Simply click the small Plus icon on the top right of the Users page to add user slots to your account. You can pay instantly for the upgrade and the cost per user will be added to your monthly or yearly fee automatically.

New User

This is different from Add User. When you create a new user, you will be populating the open user slots you have purchased through the initial signup process or through an Add User upgrade. You will be provided with the option to fill in a number of different information fields and settings that contain details about the user and distinguish what levels of file, folder and account management access that user has. Those fields include:

➢     First/Last Name

➢     Position

➢     Email/Phone Number

➢     Password/Option to let them change their password

➢     Send the password by email

➢     Space/Bandwidth

➢     Admin Permissions

➢     Email Notifications/Email Invitations

➢     Folder Access

Edit User

When this option is chosen, you can modify the user’s data and settings in the selected fields that are mentioned above. If you would like to change a user’s role or access permissions, you can do so easily without having to completely delete the record and create another one.

Block User

Blocking a user allows you to restrict their access to your OpenDrive account temporarily without having to delete their profile. Blocking is also a quick, one-click solution for when you need to make changes to a user’s folder, investigate possible unauthorized access or account abuse, or simply maintain peace of mind when that person is on vacation, has left the company or some other reason.

Unblock User

With another simple click, a user who was blocked can be just as quickly unblocked, with all permissions and privileges instantly restored.

Delete User

If a user needs to be removed, whether they are no longer with your company or you simply wish to save a slot that is being unnecessarily utilized, selecting the Delete User option instantly deletes that user from your account, along with the record and all settings.

User Control at Your Fingertips

Whether you are part of a business looking to share your sensitive data between employees in a secure yet simple way, or you are a personal user looking for a way to keep your private files separate from other joint family data such as pictures, music and videos, with OpenDrive, you are completely covered.
