Understanding Popdock Security options for Users, Teams, and Roles

Published: Sep 01, 2023

Popdock’s security features ensure users have access only to the data they need. An administrator is the only role with authority to add users to the Popdock account. The administrator has the ability to create teams, invite users, assign teams, and assign roles. To protect your data, you can assign a team or each individual user access to specific connectors and lists at the administrator’s discretion. This is an overview of these security options for your account.

Before adding users, we recommend defining Teams in Popdock security. When you invite users, they can be assigned to Teams that already carry the permissions needed to securely view the data they need. Creating Teams first will save time when adding users in the future. Until you give users permissions for connectors, companies, and lists, they will not have the required permissions to view their data.

To navigate to Popdock Security, select the menu on the upper left corner of the Popdock home page and then select Security.

Teams

A team is a group of users with the same permissions to access connectors, lists, details, and actions. For example, you can have an accounting department that has access to accounting data. Then have a sales department that has access to sales data and cannot access the accounting data.

To Create a Team

1. From the Popdock Security Page, select Teams in the left Settings menu.

Roles

The Roles in Popdock are pre-defined and control the activities users are allowed to take. There are two areas that roles can be assigned: general security roles and connector roles. Security roles grant users permissions to areas that are not connector specific. Things like schedules, endpoints, and widgets. Connector roles define what actions a user can take within a connector.

To Create a Role

1. From the Popdock Security Page, select Roles under the Security section.

Users

Users are individuals with a named account in the Popdock web app that can consume data from lists that you have created for each connector. You can find instructions on how to send the invitations in the following Knowledge Base article:  How to invite a user to be added to your Popdock account. You can send an invitation to one or more users and assign them to a team. Additionally, you can assign a user to multiple teams. You can also assign each user to specific connectors, lists, details, and actions like in Steps 1-6 under Teams.
