Account Management

Account Management in Netmaker SaaS

The Netmaker SaaS has two web interfaces, the Account Management UI (AMUI) and the Netmaker UI (NMUI). You can tell between the two by looking at the address bar of your browser. AMUI's URL is https://account.netmaker.io/, while NMUI is https://app.netmaker.io/.

The NMUI allows you to manage VPN resources of each tenant. It is the Netmaker application web UI — that's why it appears the same as the web UI of a self-hosted Netmaker Server.

The Account Management UI (AMUI) on Netmaker SaaS allows you full control of your profile information, payment method information, and invoicing details on our cloud platform. This is where you will be able to manage your tenants, monitor bill payments & usage, and manage users of each tenant.

When you visit the login or signup pages, you're interacting with the AMUI. If you only have one tenant, you'll be automatically redirected to that tenant's NMUI after logging in. If you have multiple tenants, you'll be taken to the Tenants page (AMUI), where you can select the specific tenant you want to access.

If you are in the NMUI and wish to navigate to the AMUI, you can click on your username in the lower-left corner of the screen and then click on Manage Account.

Profile Page

The Profile page serves as a management interface for your Netmaker SaaS global account settings and user preferences. The Profile page is where you can set your payment method, invoice details, and account profile details.

Tenants Page

The Tenants page is used for managing multi-tenancy within the Netmaker SaaS platform. Multi-tenancy allows you to divide your infrastructure into isolated environments, each with its own users, networks, and resources. The tenants page typically allows an administrator to:

• Create and Manage Tenants: Set up different tenants, which could represent different teams, organizations, or business units.

• Assign Users to Tenants: Control which users belong to which tenant, enforcing role-based access control within the tenant’s environment.

• Tenant Isolation: Ensure that each tenant’s resources (such as VPN networks, gateways, etc.) are isolated and cannot be accessed by other tenants.

• View and Edit Tenant Configurations: Modify configurations related to each tenant, such as network settings, permissions, and access controls.

• Monitor Activity per Tenant: Track network usage and activity logs specific to a tenant for auditing or troubleshooting.

This feature is particularly useful for organizations with multiple departments or clients who need segregated VPN networks for security and management purposes.

There are two types of tenants, each succinctly described in the image below.
