Managing Datto Workplace user accounts
An individual Datto Workplace user account contains settings that determine what resources and permissions are available to that user. For example, each user (Member) is allocated a data storage limit which is part of the overall Team storage allocation. Though individual Member storage limits may be increased, it's important that the administrator manages these changes within the boundaries set by the company subscription and plan.
The Datto Workplace administrator can manage user accounts by editing individual Member details on the Edit Member page.
This article describes how an administrator may edit the following Datto Workplace account details for a Member.
Changing storage limit
To change the storage allocation limit on an Datto Workplace Member account, the account Administrator should proceed as follows,
- Log in to Workplace Online, by right-clicking on the Datto Workplace system tray icon, and selecting Workplace Online from the menu.
Workplace Online opens on the Dashboard page.
- Click the Team tab.
- From the list of accounts on the Members sub-tab, click on the account to change.
The Edit page opens for the chosen account.
- Click the Edit button.
The following screen appears. Note that the total available Team Storage is also indicated on this page. You cannot exceed this total under the conditions of your current package.
- Click on the – or + icons at each side of the User Storage box, to decrease or increase the allocated storage limit for this Member.
Note:
You can only allocate storage up to your package limit. Any changes you make here will affect the amount of additional storage available for other Member accounts, but will not affect your bill. If you wish to increase your overall Team Storage limit then contact your account manager.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click UPDATE.
The storage allocation is changed for this account.
