A team can be edited by simply double-clicking its name in the team list or by ticking the checkbox next to the team name and clicking on Edit Team. The Edit Team modal contains the same control elements as the Add Team modal. After making the desired changes, click on Save to confirm them.
Two-factor authentication
Frontline supports two-factor authentication for user accounts. To use this feature, users must be assigned to a team that has two-factor authentication enabled.
When a user belonging to such a team signs in to the Frontline Command Center, they will be prompted to set up two-factor authentication.
Scan the displayed QR code with any of the following authenticator apps installed on your mobile phone: Free OTP or Google Authenticator. Every time a user signs in to FCC, they will be asked to enter a 6-digit code generated by the authenticator app.
Frontline Workplace users will see the screen below asking them to scan the QR code displayed on their smartglasses authenticator app.
