How do I manage sites?

Follow

Your global view  shows you a list of all the sites you’re managing with Auvik. From this central starting point, you can click through to any existing site, add new sites, or delete old ones.

You can filter your site list to show only certain sites. For more information on filtering, see How to filter data in Auvik.

For more details on the different site types and what it means to change types, see What are the different site types?

How to add a new site

There are two site relationships you can add:

  • Site is a single location whose network you manage. This is used when the organization has only 1 location you are managing.
  • Multi-site is used to group sites. This is useful when an organization has multiple locations you manage. An organization could represent a separate company with multiple sites or, a business division, a region within the company.

When you add the new site, select the appropriate site relationship. If you select the wrong type, you’ll need to delete the site and start over.

  1. Click Add site.
  2. Select the relationship type of site you want to add: Site or Multi-Site.
  3. Enter an organization name, desired URL, and your site's street address*.

  5. New site user authorizations. For more information on filtering, see How to filter data in Auvik. There are three options for setting site user authorizations:
    • Copy all parent authorizations: This will copy all user authorizations from the parent.

Custom authorizations:

      1. To apply the same role to each user: From the list of users, select who should be authorized on the new site. From the Roles drop-down menu, select the appropriate role: no access, admin, or read-only.
      2. To assign different roles per user: From the list of users, select each user individually. Then, from the Roles drop-down menu, select the appropriate role.

      3. Click Save.

* Your site's street address will only be used to place their location on a map.

For new sites, decide if you’ll be sharing an existing collector OR installing a new a collector on the site’s network.

How to authorize site users

After you add a new site, you can easily authorize existing users on the new site. Right now, authorizations can only be made for a single site at a time.

  1. In the displayed list of sites, find the site you want to authorize users on. Click the box at the beginning of the row.
  2. Click the Authorize

  3. Client user authorizations. For more information on filtering, see How to filter data in Auvik.
    1. To apply the same role to each user: From the list of users, check each user who should be authorized on the new site. From the Roles drop-down menu, select the appropriate role: no access, admin, or read-only.
    2. To assign different roles per user: From the list of users, check a user and from the Roles drop-down menu, select the appropriate role. Repeat for each user where the roles assigned should be different.
    3. If you selected to authorize users on a multi-site, leaving Authorize on all sites accounts under this multi-site account checked applies the same role level to all sites of the multi-site. To assign different permissions per site, uncheck Authorize on all sites accounts under this multi-site account
