User Experiences

Boost Security is designed to empower your team with robust security capabilities while providing a seamless user experience. Our platform ensures that every user has the appropriate level of access to perform their tasks efficiently and securely, whether you’re inviting new team members or managing user roles.

Users Overview

The Users page provides a centralized view of all users within your organization. From this page, you can:

  • View user details such as status, role, site access, and asset groups
  • Manage user permissions
  • Update roles and asset group access
  • Remove users from the organization

Each user entry includes an actions menu (ellipsis ⋮) on the right-hand side, which contains all available management options.
