Access the Code42 console
To access the Code42 console, use a supported web browser to visit the CrashPlan for Small Business Sign In page.
The Code42 console dashboard appears when you sign in, which displays information about backup status, users, devices and settings.
If you see a prompt for an authentication code, and your organization has not configured two-factor authentication, verify that your email address is correct.
The content and options displayed in the Code42 console are determined by the user role of the signed-in user. An administrator is allowed full access to configure all aspects of the Code42 environment, while end users only receive access to settings related directly to their individual devices and accounts.
