Administrators sit at the centre of every Frontu workspace. You manage users, configure permissions, and have access to data that the rest of the organisation depends on. That makes administrator accounts a natural target — and the place where any security improvement has the biggest impact.
That's why we're rolling real-time detection of new login devices, and a new My Devices tab in administrator profile settings. They give you a clearer picture of who is signing in to your admin account and a fast way to act when something doesn't look right.
These features are currently available only for administrator accounts. Technicians are not affected: they will not see "My Devices" and their logins will not generate new device notifications.
The new "My Devices" tab in my profile
Each administrator now has a dedicated My Devices tab inside their profile settings, where they can see exactly which devices were signed in to their admin account.
Where to find it
Sign in to Frontu as an administrator.
Click your profile picture in the top-right corner.
Select the My Devices tab.
What you'll see
Each row in the list represents one device that has signed in to your admin account, with:
Browser/OS
IP Address
First and Last seen date and time.
Status
Actions
Trusting/Revoking trust for a device
Trusting a device tells Frontu that you recognise it as your own. Trusted devices are easier to spot at a glance and help reduce noise around routine admin logins.
To trust/untrust a device:
Find the device in your My Devices list.
Click the Mark as trusted/Revoke trust button next to it.
You will get Action successful! message
Only trust devices you personally own and physically control. Never trust a shared computer, a borrowed tablet, or a device you used on public Wi-Fi at a hotel or airport without thinking carefully about it first.
Deleting a device
Deleting a device immediately signs that device out of Frontu and removes it from your list. The next time anyone signs in to your admin account from that device, it will count as a brand new login — which means a fresh notification will be sent to the workspace administrators.
To delete a device:
Find the device in your My Devices list.
Click the Delete button next to it.
Confirm the action.
New login device detection with administrator notification
Every time an administrator signs in to Frontu, we now check whether the device has been used to access that admin account before. If it hasn't, the login is flagged as a new device event and the workspace's administrators are notified.
What happens when a new device is detected
The administrator signs in as usual — there is no extra step or interruption.
Frontu recognises the device fingerprint as new for that admin account.
An automatic notification is sent to the administrator's login email.
The device is added to that administrator's My Devices list as untrusted, ready for review.
What the administrator notification includes
The administrator account that signed in.
Date and time of the login.
Browser
IP address of the login.
Direct links into the admin panel ("This was me" button) or password reminder ("This wasn't me" button).
