This page displays detailed information about an individual user as well as information, devices associated with the user, and information concerning other users they have created. It also provides access to several user management features.

About access links

In the event that a user needs immediate access to backed up files (if, for example, their laptop malfunctions right before a presentation), this page allows you to send a temporary link to the user. The user can then temporarily access their files on File Protection Online without having to install File Protection Desktop.

Alternatively, you can enable the Allow Self-Request Access Links policy on the Security Policies page. This allows users to generate their own temporary access links. But because this approach is slightly less secure, we recommend that you consider carefully before enabling this policy.

NOTE  Both access link options are discussed in Help! My device is inaccessible or broken and I need some backed up files! What do I do? FAQ.
