Airtable terminology | Admin Panel - A centralized set of tools to help admins manage their organization’s Enterprise account. It's a designated surface that includes ways for admins to view and manage users, groups, reports, bases, and more. It is not visible or available to non-admins. |
Overview
To accommodate for all of the various ways that admins may need to manage their organization’s use of Airtable the Admin Panel has various points of overlapping functionality. This article and the other support materials linked below are meant to help admins understand and master these various means to an end. Broadly speaking, the Admin Panel allows admins to:
- Invite new users and see pending user invites
- Adjust user and group permissions
- Deactivate users connected to their Enterprise’s Airtable account
- Generate helpful reports related to user activity and other data points
- Dictate restrictions or security settings for their organization across Airtable.
- Use the Interfaces tab to view an organization's complete list of interfaces. Additionally, find users and what their permission level is per interface.
But, that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Admin Panel’s capabilities. This support documentation is for the UI that admins will see if their enterprise contracts were signed before Nov 15, 2021. Enterprise contracts signed after Nov 15, 2021 will see slight UI differences.
Navigating to the Admin Panel
In order to access the Admin Panel, you will need to have been granted “Admin” access by another admin first. Be sure to reach out to your organization’s IT administrators to make sure that you have the proper credentials before proceeding.
The Admin Panel can be reached one of two ways:
- From the Airtable home page, admins will see the “Admin” option after clicking on the profile icon in the upper right corner.
- If you are logged into an Airtable account that has admin credentials, then you can type airtable.com/admin into your browser’s search bar.
This will bring admins to a page that looks like this:Organizations with new Enterprise contracts as of November 2021 will see this:
Admin Panel pages
In the navigation sidebar on the left side of the Admin Panel, there are various categories where admins can click to open pages that will display important information from each category’s viewpoint. To learn more about how to use the information and options in these pages as an Airtable admin click on any of the links below:
FAQs
The admin panel allows you to see who does not have 2FA enabled, but it does not allow you to enforce 2FA. If you would like more control over user authentication, we recommend using SSO, which allows you to enforce 2FA.
Yes, they can. More info here.
This information will not show up in the admin panel.
You can use advanced filters in the user management tab to filter for 2FA, specific account creation dates, emails, names, and more.
When an account is deactivated, the user will see a message in the sign-in dialogue that says “That account has been deactivated. Please contact your organization administrator.” Users are not notified of deactivation.
When an owner of a workspace is deactivated, the workspace (and its contents) are unaffected. However, owners can only be deactivated if there is at least one other owner or no other collaborators in the workspace. If there are no other collaborators in the workspace, it will no longer be accessible. In this case, if the admin needs to access it, they’d need to reactivate the owner's account or assign another owner prior to deactivating the first owner.
The field "Last Activity Time" displays when the user was last active. Activity is calculated any time a user is logged in and takes an action in a base. Actions include: loading a base, adding content to a base, or editing content in a base. Performing these actions via the API will result in the “Last active” value in the admin panel being updated.
Loading the workspace home page would not count as activity. If the user remains logged in for an extended period of time with no activity, the last activity time will not be updated. (Note: Activity is being tracked from November 2019 onward.)
All links are affected, regardless of when they were created.
Forms are included in domain restrictions unless you opt to exclude them. To do this, toggle the “Allow unrestricted access to shared forms” option.
We support programmatic disabling/re-activating users via SCIM for Okta (and only Okta). For additional details and setup instructions, please read our support article.
