Getting Started

This guide will walk you through accessing Console, understanding the interface, and performing your first administrative tasks.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • Access to a Solução42 Console organization (contact your administrator or sales team)
  • Your company slug and login credentials
  • (Optional) An invitation email if you're a new user

Step 1: Access the Console​

Navigate to the Console login page:

https://console.solucao42.com.br

First-Time Login​

  1. Enter your company slug - This was provided when your organization was created
  2. Choose your login method:
    • Email and password
    • Google OAuth
    • SSO (if configured by your organization)
  3. Complete 2FA if required - Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app
First Time Setup

If your organization requires 2FA and you haven't set it up yet, you'll be prompted to scan a QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy, etc.).

Step 2: Navigate the Dashboard​

After logging in, you'll see the Console dashboard with several main areas:

  • Dashboard - Overview of your organization and recent activity
  • Users - Manage users and their permissions
  • Groups - Define permission sets for different roles
  • Settings - Configure organization-wide settings

User Profile Menu​

  • My Profile - Update your personal information
  • Logout - Sign out of Console

Step 3: Invite Your First User​

Let's invite someone to your organization:

  1. Navigate to Users in the main menu
  2. Click the Invite User button
  3. Fill in the invitation form:
    • Email: The user's email address
    • Groups: Assign permission groups (e.g., "Editors", "Viewers")
  4. Click Send Invitation

The user will receive an email with a link to set their password and activate their account.

Invitation Expiration

Invitation links expire after 7 days. Users who don't activate in time will need a new invitation.

Step 4: Create a Permission Group​

Groups define what users can do. Let's create a "Managers" group:

  1. Navigate to Groups
  2. Click Create Group
  3. Fill in the group details:
    • Name: Managers
    • Description: Can manage users but not delete them
  4. Add roles/permissions:
    • Target: Users
    • Actions: Read, Create, Update (leave out Delete)
  5. Click Create

Now you can assign users to the "Managers" group, and they'll inherit those permissions.

Understanding the Interface​

Dashboard Overview​

The dashboard shows:

  • Active Users: How many users are currently active
  • Recent Activity: Latest user logins and changes
  • Group Summary: Overview of permission groups and their member counts
  • Quick Actions: Shortcuts to common tasks

Most lists support:

  • Search: Find users or groups by name or email
  • Filters: Filter by status or group membership
  • Sorting: Sort by name, date created, last login, etc.

Bulk Actions​

Select multiple items to:

  • Assign to groups in bulk
  • Activate or deactivate multiple users

Common Tasks​

Activate an Invited User​

When a user accepts their invitation:

  1. They appear in the Users list with status "Invited"
  2. Once they set their password, status changes to "Active"
  3. Admins receive a notification of the activation

Deactivate a User​

To temporarily remove someone's access:

  1. Go to Users
  2. Find the user and click their name
  3. Click Deactivate
  4. The user can no longer log in but their data is preserved

Reset a User's Password​

If a user forgets their password:

  1. They can use the Forgot Password link on the login page
  2. Or, admins can go to the user's profile and click Send Password Reset

Tips for Success​

  1. Start with groups - Define your permission groups before inviting many users
  2. Use descriptive names - Name groups clearly so their purpose is obvious
  3. Test with a trial user - Invite yourself with a different email to test the user experience
  4. Regular audits - Periodically review user access and remove inactive accounts
  5. Enable 2FA - Require two-factor authentication for enhanced security
