Admin panel overview

The admin panel is a centralized tool to help admins manage their organization’s enterprise account. Admin panel allows admins to take an active role in maintaining security and modifying user and group access to Airtable workspaces and bases by:

  • Invite new users and see pending user invites.

  • Update user and group permissions.

  • Deactivate users connected to their enterprise account.

  • Generate 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.

Accessing the admin panel settings

To open your admin panel settings:

  1. Open your admin panel.

  2. Click Settings.

FAQs

Why can’t I access some category pages in admin panel?

To unlock the full functionality of your enterprise admin panel, you will need to complete the domain verification process for your enterprise account.

To verify your domain, you will need to work in partnership with your IT department or whoever has access to your domain's DNS host in order to follow the steps outlined in this support article.

Additionally, certain pages are only available depending on your organization’s plan level and/or organizational structure. We call out these limitations at the top of the support articles for those pages in the plan availability section.

Can I require two-factor authentication (2FA) from admin panel?

No. Admin panel only allows you to see collaborators without 2FA enabled. If you need more control over user authentication, we recommend setting up SSO in admin panel, which allows you to enforce 2FA.

Can admins invite users to Airtable from the admin panel?

Yes, they can. More info here.

When a deactivated user deletes their account, does their history appear in the admin panel?

No. Deleted deactivated users information does not appear in admin panel.

Can I filter to who users without two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled?

Yes. You can use filters in the user management tab to filter for 2FA, specific account creation dates, emails, names, and more.

Are users notified once their account is deactivated?

When an account is deactivated, the user is notified: “That account has been deactivated. Please contact your organization administrator.” Users are not notified of deactivation.

What happens to a workspace when its owner is deactivated in admin panel?

When an owner of a workspace is deactivated, the workspace is unaffected. However, owners can only be deactivated if there is at least one additional 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 before deactivating the first owner.

Can admins access active users and last seen from admin panel?

The field "Last Activity Time" displays when the user was last active on an enterprise-owned interface. Activity is calculated any time a user is logged in and takes an action into a interface owned by the enterprise.

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.)

When domain restricted share links settings are turned on, does it immediately apply to all share links, or only net new links?

All links are affected, regardless of when they were created.

Are forms included in domain restrictions?

Forms are included in domain restrictions unless you opt to exclude them. To do this, toggle the “Allow unrestricted access to shared forms” option.

Can I pause adding users to my enterprise account until SSO has been enabled, or bulk deactivate?

We support programmatic disabling/re-activating users via SCIM for Okta (and only Okta). For additional details and setup instructions, please read our this support article.
