Administrator Portal

Administrator Portal User Guide


A. Getting Started

Login to https://portal.gridmarkets.com and enter the same email and password you use to login to Envoy:


The Admin View contains the following:

  1. Admin View – this view to see all your users’ jobs

  2. Manage Users – see section B

  3. Job Status Filter – filter the list by status

  4. Your organisation’s credits that haven’t been assigned to any user (see below) - select the “Buy Credits” button to purchase more credits

  5. List of user submissions – select the (magnifying glass) button to view the frames and their logs, or the button to stop the job


B. Adding & Maintaining Users

The “Manage Users” screen has the following:

  1. User search filter options to list users

  2. Button to create a new user

  3. Button to display your organisation’s credit purchases

  4. Your organisation’s credits that haven’t been assigned to any user (see below) - select the “Buy Credits” button to purchase more credits.


To find specific users enter any combination of the above displayed options and hit “Apply Search” to find matching users.  Information like the following will be displayed:


  • The Access Key can be used in Envoy to only view and download the user’s files.

  • Admin specifies if the user is an administrator for your organisation - i.e. has access to the Portal.  Contact support@gridmarkets.com to add or remove administrators.

  • Service Plan represents the number of concurrent machines the user can use, which they can change in Envoy.

  • Credits Used & Available are the user’s remaining credits and how much they have available respectively.  You can see what you have allocated and they have personally purchased with the button.  Use the button to add or remove (by entering a negative number) credits from their account from your organisation’s overall credit total as shown in A.4 – i.e. credits you add to the user will be deducted from your organisation’s credits.

  • Status shows whether their accounts are active (i.e. they can login) or disabled (i.e. they can not).  Press the button to deactivate or reactivate their account.

  • Select the button to change the user’s name, email, password, region, etc.

  • Select to see the user’s job submissions.


You may select multiple accounts to enable/disable or add/remove credits from the users:


To add a new user select the “New User” button

The user’s name

User’s email that they will use to login to Envoy1

User’s password for Envoy

User’s region to optimise data transfers

Initial credits allocated to the user from your organisation’s credits

Any notes about the user

Whether user should use your organisation’ shared storage


1 Plus addresses can be used if a user wants to receive email notifications for job starts, stops, etc. to their personal email - e.g. if the user’s personal email is john.doe@gmail.com then you can set their login email to john.doe+YourCompanyName@gmail.com, and emails from GridMarkets will be sent to john.doe@gmail.com


2 By default, all users have their own storage, but can be set to share projects & files with others in your organisation.  Note that 

Alert
  • The user will need to logout and back into Envoy for this to take effect;

  • This will only apply to new projects or ones that have already been shared;

  • Once set the user will no longer have access to their personal projects or files - contact support@gridmarkets.com if you need to revert.
