This site will soon be deprecated. To access the documentation, use the ActiveServer Administration UI.

Administration UI v2

Administration UI v2 is a redesigned administration interface for ActiveServer. It runs alongside the classic Administration UI described in the other guides in this section. Both interfaces use the same login page, user accounts, roles, settings and data, so a change made in one is immediately visible in the other.

This page explains how to access Administration UI v2, where each function is located, and how it differs from the classic Administration UI.

Switching between interfaces

A user with the System Admin role can choose the interface in Settings > Security > Admin UI version: New (v2) or Classic. New (v2) is the default. The change applies to all users, who see the selected interface the next time they sign in.

Layout

  • Left sidebar - contains the menu, grouped into Platform and Workspace, and a Search box. Press Ctrl K (Cmd K on macOS) to search for a page by name.
  • Account menu - select your name at the bottom of the sidebar to open Profile Settings, Documentation, the language (English or Japanese), Dark mode/Light mode and Sign out.
  • Header (wide screens) - toggle the sidebar between full width and icons only, open notifications with the bell icon, switch the theme, or open the user menu, which includes Change Password.
  • On narrow screens, the menu button at the top left opens the sidebar.

Menu items are shown according to your roles and permissions, in the same way as the classic Administration UI. If you open a page you do not have access to, you are taken to your User profile.

Theme

Select the sun/moon icon in the header, or Dark mode/Light mode in the account menu, to switch between the light and dark theme. The choice is remembered by your browser. The light theme is the default.

Signing out

Select Sign out from the account menu or the user menu. ActiveServer ends the session before showing the login page, and other open Administration UI v2 tabs are signed out as well. If the session cannot be ended, an error is shown and you remain signed in.

Differences from the classic Administration UI

  • Client certificate downloads show the certificate password once on screen instead of including it in the downloaded metadata.txt file. See Manage merchants.
  • Profile, About, Documentation and Sign out are in the account menu or sidebar instead of the icons at the bottom of the sidebar.
  • The Dashboard shows summary figures (Total Txns, Auth Rate, Challenge Rate, Active Schemes).
  • The login, two-factor login, forgot password and set password pages are shared with the classic Administration UI.
