Admin User Accounts

IN THIS ARTICLE

Admin User Overview

Screenshot

You can create as many administrative users as you'd like. An admin user is different from a normal customer account because it has access to the admin side of the Kiva Logic software. To login as an admin user, you can use the normal customer login page on the front of the website, or you can go to yourdomain.com/kiv/login.

Screenshot

Admin users can receive notifications about system events, log in as customers, and much more.

If you ever lock yourself out of the admin side, just send in an email to hello@kivalogic.com and after validating your identity, we will restore your access.

It is recommended to have a unique admin user for each person that will be accessing the admin side of the Kiva Logic software. Each action an admin user takes is logged by the software, and using unique accounts can help to figure out who-did-what if any issue arises. In other words- don't share admin accounts, create new ones for each person.

Screenshot

To create a new admin user, click 'Add Admin User' at the top right of the page found at Settings->Admin Users.

Account information

Screenshot

We recommend filling out all available information for each admin user that you have. The 'email address' field must be filled out for an admin user to receive email notifications.

Email Notifications

Screenshot

Each admin user can have a number of different email notifications sent to their email based off of various events that happen in the system. For most admin users, we recommend having at least the 'New Customer', 'Admin log in' and the 'Cancellation' notification emails enabled. The 'Admin log in' email is important because it will send you an email each time that your admin account logs in. If you receive a notification that your account has been used to log in and it wasn't you- we recommend changing your password immediatel.y

Email Signature

Screenshot

This is an email signature for you that you can copy and paste into gmail, yahoo, or any other email provider for use as your email signature. It is built by using the information you've entered for your business and admin user account. It's just a helpful tool for you to optionally use.

Suspend User

Screenshot

To suspend a user, just click the big red button. We do NOT delete admin user accounts because this would change the integrity of the system logs. By suspending a user, they will no longer have access, but you'll still be able to see everything they've ever done in the system log which is very important.

When a user is suspended, they are also automatically un-subscribed from all admin email notifications.

Admin Access Level

Screenshot

There are several options to choose from when creating a new admin user that controls what kind of access the admin user will have to the admin side. Any admin access level that is not 'Full Admin' is severely limited in what the account can access, view, or process.

Full Admin

This is the default access level and provides full access to everything on the admin side.

Warehouse

A 'warehouse' admin user can see the 'Warehouse App', which displays useful information about inventory, demand, what's left over, etc. This is typically used by a warehouse manager to look up how much of an item is left, or to figure out how much of a product you may be short of.
