11. What's New in X-Payments Cloud

At the time of creation of the first user account for access to your X-Payments Cloud, this user account is granted root administrator privileges. Such a user account has full access to all the features of the X-Payments Cloud admin panel. If you can login to X-Payments Cloud and are currently the only user of the admin panel of your X-Payments Cloud instance, you are the root administrator.

X-Payments Cloud, however, can be configured to allow login to its admin panel to more than one user. You, the root administrator, have the ability to create additional admin accounts for your partners or staff, and to specify the set of privileges that needs to be available to each of them.

Unlike the root administrator who has full access to X-Payments Cloud functionality, non-root X-Payments Cloud users have limited privileges. Such users:

• can edit their own user name, email address and password.
• can choose and configure one or more methods of two-factor user authentication for personal use;
• can access to payment details/cardholder data - if the respective permission has been given to them by the root admin;
• can view/edit the X-Payments Cloud settings (general / payment processing / appearance / translations) - if the respective permissions have been given to them by the root admin;
• cannot add/manage other user accounts.

Users List

Existing user accounts can be viewed and managed on the 'Users List' page (Settings -> Users):

For each user account on the list, you can see its current status. The possible account statuses are as follows:

• Full permissions: This is the permanent status used for the X-Payments root admin. It cannot be changed nor assigned to any other user in X-Payments.
• Active: This is the normal working status of a user account; it means that the user can log in to the X-Payments back end and perform actions within the permissions scope defined by their account details. The 'Active' status is set for all user accounts automatically after account activation / email address change confirmation by the user; it can also be assigned to a user account manually by the root admin after the account was locked (see the instructions for changing the account status below).
• Waiting for email activation: This is an automatic status; it is used for newly created user accounts before account activation by the account owner.
• Waiting for email verification: This is an automatic status; it is used for user accounts for which registration email address has been changed by the X-Payments root admin, but the change has not yet been confirmed by the account owner.
• Waiting for password recovery: This is an automatic status; it is used for user accounts for which password recovery has been requested.
• Locked due to account inactivity: This is an automatic status assigned to a user account after the expiration of the account inactivity period, as provided by the user account details (see the instructions for Changing a User's Account Status).
• Locked due to danger activity: This is an automatic status temporarily assigned to a user account for which repeated failing login attempts are detected (related to the 'Dangerous activity blocking period (minutes)' option in X-Payments General settings).
• Locked due to account expired: This is an automatic status assigned to a user account after the account expiration date, as provided by the user account details. To unlock a user account in this state, X-Payments root admin must change the 'Expiration date' value in the account details.
• Locked by administrator: This is a status that can be used to temporarily disable a user account; it can be set manually by the X-Payments root admin (see the instructions for Changing a User's Account Status).

On this page you can:

• Open the details of a specific user account for viewing/editing;
• Lock active user accounts / unlock user accounts with the Locked by administrator, Locked due to danger activity and Locked due to account inactivity status;
• Delete user accounts.

• Change the user account status (lock the account if it is active / unlock the account if it is locked);
