Users

The Users tab provides administrative tools for managing user accounts, permissions, and organization settings within FireCast. Access is typically restricted to administrators or users with elevated permissions.

Security Settings

Require Two Factor Authentication

• Enable to require users to verify their identity with a second factor (e.g., mobile device code) in addition to their password.

• Disable to allow login with just username and password.

Force Password Updates After

• Set the number of days before users must change their passwords:

  • 0: Passwords never expire

  • 30, 60, 90 days: Common security intervals

• Helps maintain security by preventing indefinite use of old passwords.
