Team Dashboard

Monaca dashboard

There are two types of dashboards in Monaca:

1. Developer dashboard: used on the developer accounts to develop and manage projects.

2. Team Dashboard: used on the administrator accounts to manage the developer team and licenses as well as tickets in a company.

Account types

There are two types of enterprise and business accounts:

1. Administrator account

   • An account for managing developer accounts and licenses, plugin licenses, support & CI tickets and contract information.

   • Used for management only, independent of the general Monaca developer accounts. It can only be used to log into the Team Dashboard.

   • If your account is both Developer and Administrator account, you can access Team Dashboard directly from Developer Dashboard and vice versa.

2. Developer account

   • An account for logging into the Developer Dashboard and developing Monaca projects.

   • In the dashboard, the plan name is displayed as Enterprise (company name) or Business (company name).

   • Enterprise users can use any power plugins for free while business users need to pay for each power plugin. The plugins can be acquired through the team dashboard (refer to Purchasing Plugin Licenses).

Overview of the team dashboard

In a company, administrators can log into the team dashboard to perform tasks such as managing a developer team, purchasing and assigning developer licenses, purchasing and using support tickets and changing the contract type.

On the team dashboard, administrators are mainly doing the following tasks:

• Developer management: invite/remove developers to/from the team.

• License management: purchase and manage developer and power plugin licenses.

• Ticket management: purchase and manage support and CI (Continuous Integration) tickets, view ticket usage history and check the remaining number of tickets.

• Access restriction management: limit the access to the team and developer dashboards by using IP address restriction.

• Contract management: view/update the contract information, change the contract type and delete the team.

• Support request: contact Monaca support team for assistance.

Prerequisites

Once you have registered and logged in as an administrator on the team dashboard, you should complete the following tasks before you can fully start using the team dashboard:

Managing developers

To add a developer into your team, click the Invite a developer button. Then, you will be asked to input the email of new member.

The new member can be one of the following types of users:

1. A free Monaca user: this member can be added to the team right away.

2. A paid Monaca user: this member will need to cancel his currently contracted plan before being added to the team.

3. Not a Monaca user: an email will be sent to the member to register to Monaca and then being added to the team.

After adding a developer to the team, the added developer will be automatically in a trial state of the same plan as the administrator. For example, if the administrator is under a business plan, the added developer will be in a trial state of the business plan.
