User Management

Easily manage users, groups, and their permissions.

System administrators can invite, edit, and delete users to and from their Nimbus808 dashboard. Each invited user is also assigned a level of permissions, which determines their access to specific pages and the extent to which they can modify dashboard pages.

Groups categorize selections of users. Groups are established by the dashboard administrators or developers who have been granted access. They are commonly used to organize users based on their roles or tasks.

Project Set-up

Don’t let the simplicity fool you into thinking the program isn’t powerful. Easily create and deploy data driven dashboards with an easy to understand user interface. All without the need to learn another complex programming language.

Nimbus808 ribbon style toolbar, widget library, “layers” menu, and a main editing window called the Canvas, helps the project administrator navigate and create a dashboard exactly as it would appear on a screen or in a web browser.
