Overview
The CrashPlan console is the browser-based environment you use to view, manage, monitor, and configure your CrashPlan for Small Business environment. This tutorial describes the basics of the CrashPlan console.
Access the CrashPlan console
To access the CrashPlan console, use a supported web browser to visit the CrashPlan for Small Business Sign In page.
The CrashPlan 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 CrashPlan console are determined by the user role of the signed-in user. An administrator is allowed full access to configure all aspects of the CrashPlan for Small Business environment, while end users only receive access to settings related directly to their individual devices and accounts.
