The Admin dashboard¶

  2. Select Admin dashboard.

The Admin dashboard lets you view and manage General information about the organization and other details about Workspaces, Users, Organization settings, Service Accounts, and Billing.

Below we explore each tab with available admin functionalities in more detail.

You can:

  • Search across all workspaces by name
  • Clink on Create Workspace to specify a new workspace name and create it.
  • Click on the three vertical dots icon by a workspace to:
    • Mark the workspace as Default.
    • Delete the workspace.
    • Manage users for the workspace.

      Note that this opens a temporary pop-up window rather than redirect you to the Users tab.

Users tab¶

The Users tab displays all the users in the organization.

There are two user types:

  • Member: Regular Comet users. They can create workspaces, invite new members, and register experiments.
  • Admin: A user that has authority to manage the resources of an organization. An administrator can choose a pricing plan, delete users and workspaces, and can also update some organization-wide settings. This includes management of workspaces and access permissions to workspaces.

As admin, you can assign a role to and delete any user.

Tip

You can sort the table by clicking on the desired column name. An up arrow or a down arrow will appear depending on whether you have sorted the column in descending or ascending order.

Organization settings tab¶

Billing tab¶

The Billing tab looks different depending on the plan that your organization is on.
