Members Settings

Introduction



You can invite your colleagues to the Astra Dashboard and collaborate with them for our pentest products. The invited team member will be able to access the dashboard for the specific site or target and make settings changes like you can. However, for security reasons, the Subscription & Billing information is only visible to the user who purchased the subscription.


What is a member settings page?






The Members page is a crucial component of workspace settings in this collaborative platform. It provides a centralized view for managing team members and their access levels within the organization. Here, administrators can easily see all members, their roles (such as Owner, Admin, or Restricted), who added them, and when they joined.

The Member settings page offers functionalities like inviting new members, searching for existing ones, and potentially modifying user permissions. This streamlined interface enables efficient team management, ensuring the right people have appropriate access to the workspace.





The Members page is part of the workspace settings, which users can easily navigate using the left sidebar. This sidebar allows quick access to various management features like Teams, Subscriptions, and Payments. Users can also switch between different workspaces using a dropdown menu in the sidebar. By selecting "Members" from this menu, users can efficiently manage team composition and access rights for their chosen workspace. This layout provides a simple and centralized way to handle multiple aspects of workspace administration.

What information is shown on the members table?




When you navigate to the Members page, you'll find a clean, intuitive interface that provides a comprehensive overview of your team. The page is designed to give you all the essential information at a glance, while also offering easy access to more detailed management options.




Name: Displays the member's full name along with a small profile picture or icon. This helps quickly identify team members visually.

Email: Shows the email address associated with each member's account. This is typically used for login and communication purposes.

Role: Indicates the member's level of access and responsibilities within the workspace. Roles are color-coded for easy recognition:
- Owner (green): Likely has full control over the workspace
- Admin (blue): Has administrative privileges
- Restricted (red): Has limited access to certain features
- Full Member (orange): Standard access to workspace features

Added by: Shows the name of the person who invited or added the member to the workspace. This helps track how the team has grown and who's responsible for bringing in new members.

Date Joined: Displays the date when the member was added to the workspace, formatted as DD MM, YY (e.g., 17 Jul, 24). This helps track the growth of your team over time.

Additionally, the table includes an MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) column, represented by a shield icon, indicating whether members have enabled this extra security feature.
