As an application that prioritizes traceability of user activity and security of intellectual property, we require every user to have a unique account in order to access any information. Our authentication protocol uses a verified email and password to ensure secure access to all organization information. All Admins in the organization have full access to create, edit and delete users in the ‘Users’ tab or the Admin App.

View templates and dashboards that are added, modified or deleted update every time a page loads - in order to see the changes simply refresh the page or navigate away from the page and come back.
