Getting around
How the dashboard is laid out, what the numbers in the top bar mean, and the shortcuts that save clicks. Each page named here has its own docs page.

The pages
The sidebar groups the pages by what you do with them. The order follows a normal day: pick an application, look at it, work on its customers, then change its configuration.
| Group | Page | Use it to |
|---|---|---|
| Workspace | Applications | Create an application, copy its API key, pause or disable it. Selecting an application here selects it everywhere. |
| Workspace | Overview | See what the selected application is doing now, and follow the setup checklist. |
| Operate | Users | Create, find and manage licenses and accounts. |
| Operate | Bans | Block a license, hardware ID, address or account. |
| Operate | Monitor | See who is signed in now, message them or end their session. |
| Operate | Logs | Read every sign-in attempt and why it was allowed or refused. |
| Configure | Variables | Push values and switches to your program from the server. |
| Configure | Resellers | Let other people create keys for you, with a stock balance. |
| Configure | Automation | Rules that ban, throttle or notify when something happens. |
| Configure | Settings | The application's name and status, sign-in rules, builds, files, messages, SDK key and integrations. |
| Support | Help | Answers, refused sign-ins by cause, the docs and a way to reach a person. |
On a phone the bottom bar holds Applications, Overview, Users and Bans, and More opens the rest. Swiping in from the right edge of the screen opens the same menu. On a desktop, [ or Ctrl B collapses the sidebar to icons, and the choice is remembered.
Pick the application first
Everything except Applications and Help shows one application at a time, chosen in the selector at the top. Licenses, bans, sessions, logs, variables and settings are never shared between applications, so check the name in the selector before you act.
A page that is greyed out in the sidebar is unavailable for one of two reasons: no application is selected yet, or you are a reseller on this application and the owner did not give you that permission. The owner has every permission. Reseller permissions lists what each one allows.
The switch at the top of the sidebar moves between Authenticator (this dashboard) and Obfuscator, which has its own pages and is covered under Obfuscator.
The live numbers
The strip under the top bar reads the selected application and refreshes every 15 seconds.
| Reading | Means |
|---|---|
| online | Sessions open right now. |
| auth · 24h | Sign-in attempts in the last 24 hours, successful and refused. |
| threats | How many addresses were refused more than 5 times in the last 24 hours. Not the same as Threats blocked on the Overview, which counts bans. |
| latency, uptime | Response time and uptime of the Atlas servers, not of your program. |
| logins today, denials today | Successful and refused sign-ins in the last 24 hours. |
| licenses | Total licenses created for the application. |
At the right of the top bar, Auth server shows whether the sign-in server answers and its median response time over the last five checks, once a minute. down means customers cannot sign in; the cell opens the Atlas status page. Sessions and Bans appear beside it on wide screens when the count is above zero.
Search
Ctrl K (Cmd K on a Mac) opens one box that does four things:
- Jumps to a page (Go to Users), switches product, selects an application by name, or starts the tour.
- Searches these docs once you type two letters. The top six matches open in a new tab.
- Opens an inspector when you paste a license key, an IP address or a hardware ID (
Atlas-followed by 20 or more letters and digits). The first result reads Open license, Open IP or Open hardware ID; press Enter. - Lists the last six things you ran under Recently viewed when the box is empty.
Inspectors
A license key, IP address, hardware ID, session or ban anywhere in the dashboard is clickable. It opens an inspector, a side panel with the full picture of that one thing, without leaving the page you are on. Click something inside an inspector to stack another on top; Esc closes the top one.
| Inspector | It shows | You can |
|---|---|---|
| License or account | Status and level, a live countdown to expiry, the bound hardware ID, address, location and device, created and last login, the note, recent events, live sessions, ban history and entitlements. An account adds every key it redeemed and its trusted devices. | Pause or resume, reset the hardware and address binding, ban, give entitlements, and for an account revoke a trusted device (the user must verify again on the next sign-in). |
| Session | Session ID, license, when it connected, when it was last seen, and the license's recent events. | Kill the session, or kill it and cascade-ban the license. |
| Ban | Its type, the account, email, license, hardware ID and address it covers, the reason and time, the event that triggered it, and other bans sharing its hardware ID or address. | Open any of those, each in its own inspector. |
| Event | One log line, with its license, address, hardware ID, location and device, and other recent events from the same address. | Open the license or address, or filter the logs to the address. |
| IP address | The address and where it is, how many licenses and bans involve it, and its recent events. | Open Users, Bans or Logs filtered to it. |
| Hardware ID | The licenses bound to this machine and the bans on it. | Open a license, or Bans filtered to it. |
Copy JSON in a license inspector copies the raw record. Paste it into a support ticket so the team sees exactly what you see.
New, notifications and help
- New opens a menu: License or account (generates keys or adds users), Ban and Application. The first two need an application.
- The bell lists sign-in alerts, billing notices and replies from the team, newest first, refreshed every minute. Mark all read clears the count; the full list is on your account page.
- The ? menu holds Help, this documentation, the keyboard list, the dashboard tour, the service status page, the SDK download, the feedback board and Discord.
