Starting 0.14, we are introducing a new role for self-managed instances called Instance admin
.
Instance admin
controls and administers. A single instance can house multiple workspaces.There may also be cases where a user IRL is running multiple instances, e.g., when using Plane for several clients. An Instance admin
role will have to be declared for each of those instances, but it is okay to use the same email address for all of them./god-mode
, a route for features that help them administer and govern their Plane instance better for all users of that instance.
How do you know who an Instance admin is?
What if I don’t complete secure instance set-up at the time of the upgrade?
God Mode
, we will show an instance-not-set-up screen to your regular users until such a time that you can complete the setup.
What has changed with how existing regular users of my instance log in?
What will happen to the default captain@plane.so account that you shipped so far?
captain@plane.so
account. Instance set-up will allow you to set up a workspace and set workspace and project admins.For existing instances, the instance admin’s email will be added to each project with the same permissions as captain@plane.so’s
so you can remove that email completely from your workspaces and projects.This is unreal, but I have an instance that has a /god-mode path already. I can’t access my Plane instance. Help!
How will emails for password resets and onboarding be sent to users of my instance(s)?
/god-mode
first. After completing secure instance set-up now, you can configure your SMTP server on the UI instead of via .env
variables. We strongly recommend you do that to avoid password-reset failures and failures in email delivery.Please reach out to us on Discord if you haven’t set up SMTP and are facing troubles with your users logging in.Why are you introducing passwords for app.plane.so users? What’s happening with unique links to sign up and sign in?
Is there a God Mode for Cloud admins, too?
God Mode
for Cloud admins.
