Enterprise Admin Guide: How do I manage my Organisation?

This guide is for the people who manage an Organisation on Bushfire.io Enterprise. It tells you where each admin tool is, what each role can do, and how to do the most common tasks.

How do I add a user to my organisation?

There are two ways to add a person to your organisation. If the person has no Bushfire.io account, use Option 1. If the person already has an account, use Option 2.

How do I licence everyone with our email domain?

An email suffix gives a licence to every person whose email address ends with your domain, for example @example.com.au. This includes people who create an account later. You do not need to add each person yourself.

How do I remove a user who has left?

When a person leaves your organisation, remove their admin roles, their access to your custom layers and their licence. Their Bushfire.io account stays, with the features of their own plan only.

How do I make someone a manager?

There are two manager roles. Pick the role that gives the person only the access that they need.

How do I add a site?

A site is a place that you want to watch, such as an office, a depot or a property. You add sites to a custom layer. Your team can then see the sites on the map and get alerts when an event is near them. The app calls sites “points of interest” or “features”.

How do I share a layer with my team?

Only you can see a new custom layer. While a layer is not shared, its page shows Only you can see this layer. Share the layer so that your team can see your sites on the map.

How do I get alerts near my sites?

A layer notification sends an alert when Bushfire.io detects an event near any site on a custom layer. Each layer notification belongs to one person. As an admin, you can create layer notifications for the people on your team.

How do I add a destination for a staff member?

A notification destination is a place where Bushfire.io sends alerts: an SMS number, an email address or a webhook. Each destination belongs to one person. Members can add their own destinations. Organisation Managers can also add destinations for members.
