Frontend Fundamentals

tiCrypt Frontend Overview

The front end of tiCrypt is the sole heart of the user experience.

The tiCrypt team has worked hard in developing a highly sophisticated complex fully encrypted backend with yet a simple and user-friendly frontend. tiCrypt users have complete freedom in the frontend to either use command prompts to access their VMs or simply use the tiCrypt user interface to carry out tasks. Users are given power in the system to manage their own world via permissions and features.

When it comes to permissions, both sub-admins and admins have large customization. There are 2 at the power 56 combinations of permissions available per user.

Frontend has three main tabs on the top left, each having its sections:

- Files, Users, Groups, Projects.

Each tab will show up based on the user permissions. Example: Some users may be shown only the Vault and Virtual Machines tab, while others the Management tab only.

On the right, there are three sections which correspond to each user profile:

- My profile, My profile Picture, Theme, My Teams' Resource Usage, Suspend, Change Password, Logout.

At the page bottom, there are three areas that have to do with product licensing & compliance:

- Frontend changelog of all tiCrypt frontend (f), backend (b) and connect app (c) versions.
