Configuration and Management
| Password Manager For WHMCS allows to safely store and share fragile data within your WHMCS. In this short guide, we will present you all the possibilities of our module. |
Configuration
| Before you start your work with our Password Manager For WHMCS, please move to 'Settings' tab, where you will configure access restrictions to product passwords, define email notifications and manage security settings. |
Products/Services Password
| First of all, decide whether you wish to allow to display a full list of the client's products and services' login details by selecting the option: 'Client Products/Services Password'. If enabled, access details to client's products and services will be displayed in the client area → 'Password Manager'. 'Exclude Client Groups' - enter any client group name to disable the product's access details from being displayed for clients in these groups. |
|
Client's Private Passwords
| The next section is dedicated to the management of private passwords of clients. If you wish to allow your clients to manage their personal access details, select the 'Client's Private Passwords' option. Your clients can be also permitted to set their own 'Master Password' to provide additional protection for their stored passwords. Next, move to the specific configuration: 1. 'Exclude Client Groups' - disable private access details management for selected here client groups. |
|
Email Notifications
| This section allows you to define email notification templates that will be sent by the module on specific actions to clients and administrators. 1. 'Password Change Reminder' - select an email template that will be used to remind clients or administrators about the need to change the password. |
|
Security Settings
| Under the 'Security Settings' tab, you have to define the level of access to clients' passwords for administrators and grant them extended permissions. You may grant your administrators:
You may also select here administrators group which will be granted 'Extended Permissions'. |
|
Other
In the very last section you may manage additional options that 'Password Manager For WHMCS ' has to offer.
|
|
Categories
| Categories allow you to prepare predefined sets of clients and administrators. By assigning a category to a password, clients and administrators from that category are granted permission to view this password. |
|
| Now, fill out the form with the category name and description. Assign desired clients and administrators to the category and press 'Confirm'. |
|
| The list of administrator categories with any details such as listed clients and administrators allowed to access the details is now visible. You may always edit the category or delete it if needed. Use the action buttons to do so. |
|
Access Details
| 'Access Details' section includes a list of provided access details. Here you can create new access details and decide who can view them. Press 'Add Details' to begin. |
|
| Fill in 'Name', enter access details into 'Username' and 'Password'. You can also make your logging in easier by entering the website URL and website login URL consecutively into 'Website URL' and 'Login URL'. |
|
| In this section choose 'Category' and select 'Administrators', 'Administrator Roles' and 'Clients' who should have access to this details. Note: There is disjunction relation between 'Administrators' and 'Administrator Roles'. |
|
| Finally, you can set up notifications rules. 'Allow To Change Password' - message is sent upon password being changed. |
|
Access Details List
| On the list of access details you will see some basic info, such as ID and name, username and password with the possibility to view the password (press the hidden password to make it visible). Press the "Copy" icon and the password or username will be copied to the clipboard. There is also information on the access details owner and administrator groups allowed, list of clients allowed and category assigned. |
|
| Use action buttons to manage the entered access details.
1. Log into your website (if URL has been provided) |
|
Dashboard
| A short summary of the clients' and administrators' access details and categories is available on the dashboard. The last tab in the addon is 'Documentation'. When pressed, it redirects you to this very site. |
|
Translations
| Customizing language files is now extremely easy with the "Translations" tool that is now available directly in the addon. Its user-friendly design makes managing various language file tweaks a smooth and efficient process. Prepare translations for the original English files with this handy built-in tool. For specific instruction on how to use this tool please refer to its dedicated article, you will find it here. |
|
Access Control
| 'Access Control' allows you to specify and control exactly which sections of the module can be accessed by your administrators. The way it works is that you create access control rules in which you decide if a specific admin, or admin role has full access, or is restricted to only specific sections. |
Rules
| Start with creating a new rule, click on the 'Create Rule' button and a dedicated form will appear. Below you will find a description of every field required in the form. |
|
Fill out the following fields to create resources access rule:
Important: When picking specific sections, keep in mind that allowing a parent section will also allow all of its children. |
|
| To edit or delete existing rules, use the icons to the right. |
|
Resources
| Use the toggles in the 'Resources' section to specify which of them should be subject to logging, found in the 'Logs' section. Every time an administrator requests a toggled resource, it will be recorded. |
|
Access Control Logs
The logs section includes:
Use the trash bin icons to delete specific logs, or utilize the mass action function to delete multiple logs at once. |
|
Administrator Area Integration
| Our module integrates with your administrator area as well as the client area. Passwords of any client can be viewed on the summary page as it is shown below, but only if you enable this option in 'Settings' section in the addon. |
|
| Your support operators are also able to access clients' passwords from within the ticket. As you may have noticed, these places allow them not only to see passwords but also to create new ones. |
|
Client Area
| Your clients can access client area password management page through 'Password Manager' button in navigation bar. To allow integration with the client area, a proper option must be enabled in 'Addon' → 'Settings' → 'Other'. |
|
| In 'Password Manager', your clients can view access details depending on the settings configured by the administrator and the level of access allowed for the client. Underneath you can see a client's area with full access to any option given. As you can see, there are four sections available: 'Owned Passwords', 'Shared Passwords', 'Products/Services Passwords' and 'Categories'. |
|
Owned Passwords
| If you enabled 'Client Private Passwords' your clients will be allowed to view, manage and create their own access details. Please note that 'Shared' column with information on whether the details are allowed for administrators or not is available only if you select 'Shared Access' in the addon's settings. |
|
| Preview the password and use action buttons to manage the access details:
1. Log into URL |
|
Add Access Details
| To create access details, press 'Add New' button as shown on the following screen. |
|
| Type the new password name and enter access details into 'Username' and 'Password'. You can also generate a random password. Optionally, provide 'Website URL' and 'Login URL' to be allowed to log into your site directly from the 'Password Manager' page. |
|
| You may now move to 'Sharing' section. There, you can decide which category the new access details will be assigned to. Choose one from the dropdown menu or select 'Unassigned' to leave it without any category. Depending on the category you select, the access details will be available for those specified in its configuration. Additionally, define which actions can be made on shared passwords. |
|
| Finally, in ' Notifications' section, set up conditions of delivering password notifications. Enable this option if needed and define when the reminders should be sent. You can also define whether you wish to receive the new password in the message. Do not forget to press 'Save Changes' to finish. |
|
Addtional Actions
| If the administrator has enabled the 'Master Password' option in 'Client's Private Passwords' , the clients will have the ability to set additional protection for their owned passwords. |
|
