Global Admin Dashboard
About the Global Admin Dashboard
The Global Admin Dashboard provides Global administrators a centralized interface to manage settings across multiple locations, with granular control over different regions or territories.
This dashboard offers the following benefits:
- Centralized management: Global administrators can manage settings from a single, unified dashboard, providing detailed control over various regions.
- Efficiency: Settings can be able to be applied to all locations simultaneously, streamlining the update process and saving time.
- Customization: Supports the configuration of settings specific to different regions.
- Security: Settings are locked at local level when applied via the Global Admin Dashboard, to ensure global settings remain consistent and secure.
- Custom domain for visitor notifications: Administrators can define the domain from which visitor email notifications are sent, ensuring visitors receive emails from a recognizable and trusted domain.
- Audit log: The audit log currently stores basic information about changes made via Global Admin Dashboard. More auditing information is planned for a future release.
Required: Organization view The Global Admin Dashboard requires Eptura Visitor locations and buildings to be managed under an Organization view. Existing customers can contact Eptura to configure this view. From June 2025 release, an Organization view is configured by default for new Eptura Visitor implementations. If the view is configured, an 'Organizations' section is displayed at the top of the Locations drop-down menu. |

Multi-site settings
Certain settings can be applied to multiple locations at the same time from the Global Admin Dashboard. The settings that show the 'Copy to all locations' button in the Settings module, can be selected in bulk from the Global Admin Dashboard and applied to the specific locations you select.
When settings have been saved to a location via the Global Admin Dashboard, none of the settings listed on the Global Admin Dashboard Settings are then configurable locally for the location from the Settings module. This includes settings that were not changed. The options are grayed out on the Settings module and a message is displayed, 'Please contact a Global Admin to alter this setting'.
Settings that are not listed on the Global Admin Dashboard are still managed locally from the Settings module.
To get started, select your Organization from the top of the location drop-down list to open the Global Admin Dashboard.
