Administration console overview

CrashPlan for Small Business (previously CrashPlan PRO)

To access the administration console, use a supported web browser to visit the CrashPlan for Small Business Sign In page.

The administration console dashboard appears when you sign in, which displays information about backup status, users, devices, settings, and licensing.

CrashPlan PROe and SharePlan

To access the administration console, point a supported web browser to your server's hostname or IP address on port 4285. For example:

• https://master-server.example.com:4285/console
  OR
• https://192.0.2.100:4285/console

When you launch the administration console, the dashboard displays information about backup status, licensing, storage, devices, and users.

Menus & general navigation

• At the top of the screen, the toolbar allows you to change appearance and language settings.
• The navigation menu on the left contains links for viewing and managing the different components of your Code42 environment.
• Action menus display contextual actions and options.
• Keyboard shortcuts are available for many of the menu items and actions in the administration console. Type ? while viewing the administration console to display a list of keyboard shortcuts.

Columns & lists

• Sort any column by clicking the column title.
• Column widths are adjustable, and the width settings are remembered across sessions.
• To reset default column widths, double-click the heading above the columns (e.g., "User Overview").
• Real-time scrolling dynamically loads data as you scroll through the data set, making it easy to manage large lists.

Applying settings

For settings in the administration console that impact user devices, there are three options for applying settings: save, push, and lock.

Learn more about device defaults and applying settings.

Inheriting settings

Your Code42 environment can hold many organizations, and each organization (called parent organizations) can contain other organizations (called child organizations). Each organization, visible in the administration console at Organizations, is also a child organization of the "top-level" organization at Settings > Organization. By default, each new organization inherits the settings of its parent organization.

From the action menu, select Edit to enable or disable inheritance for an organization.

• When you disable inheritance for an organization, that organization (and any child organizations belonging to that organization) will not receive existing or new settings from the parent organization.
• All newly-created organizations inherit all settings from their parent organizations by default.
• Inheritance can be enabled or disabled for groups of settings, such as settings for Destinations, Sharing, Security, and so on.
• If you re-enable inheritance for an organization, any unique settings are lost and replaced by the parent organization's settings when you click Save.
• Depending on the settings you have configured in your own Code42 environment, enabling or disabling inheritance can apply settings that may lead to data loss, such as disk quotas or cold storage settings.

Available commands

The administration console can send any command that is available within the CrashPlan app.
