Account and Sign In
FluidGrids uses Burdenoff Workspaces identity. Your account, workspaces, and permissions are the same across every Burdenoff product; there is no separate FluidGrids login.
Ways to sign in
| Method | Where | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Email and password | Sign-in page | The default. Remember me keeps you signed in on this device. |
| Magic Link | Sign in with Magic Link on the sign-in page | A one-time link is emailed to you; it expires in 24 hours. Useful when you do not remember your password or are on a trusted device. |
| Google / Microsoft | Buttons under or continue with | Only shown when the provider has been configured for the deployment. If the button reports that the provider is not configured, use another method. |
| Enterprise SSO (SAML 2.0 or OIDC) | Configured by a workspace admin | An Enterprise-plan feature. Once configured, members see Continue with SAML or Continue with OIDC. |
Sign-in problems (deactivated account, unverified email, expired session) show a specific message on the form. Resend verification email is available directly from the sign-in page.
Multi-factor authentication
MFA uses a time-based one-time password (TOTP) app. Set it up under Auth › Multi-Factor Auth in the Workspace Modules group. When your organisation enforces MFA, the code is requested on every sign-in.
Sessions and security
Auth › Security Settings shows your security posture and lets you change your password. Auth › Active Sessions lists every device signed in to your account and lets you sign any of them out.
Sessions expire. When that happens inside the app you will see Your session has expired. Please sign in again. or, on a workspace screen, Workspace session expired. Sign in again and the app returns you to where you were. If the workspace screens keep reporting an expired session after you sign in, sign out from the profile menu, sign in once more, and re-select the workspace — see Troubleshooting.
Workspaces
Everything in FluidGrids is scoped to the workspace you are in: workflows, runs, connections, quotas, and roles. Signing up creates a personal workspace. You may be invited to others (Administration › My Invites).
- Switch: open the profile menu in the header and choose Switch Workspace, or use the workspace switcher in the header.
- Create: Administration › Workspaces › Create Workspace. Give it a name and slug and pick the owning organisation. Creating a workspace requires the
workspace:createpermission in that organisation, and the number of workspaces is capped by your plan. - Invite people: Administration › Invite People.
Profile and language
The profile menu (your avatar, top right) opens your profile, lets you add a second account and switch between them, switch workspace, and log out. The language switcher in the header offers English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, and Tamil; the choice is remembered per browser.
API access
For the CLI, SDKs, and your own scripts:
- Email and password —
fluidgrids auth login YOUR_EMAIL(the CLI prompts for the password). - API key — create one under Developer Portal › API Keys in the Global Modules group, then
fluidgrids auth set-key YOUR_KEYor pass it to the SDK. API keys are workspace-scoped and audit-logged. - Existing token —
fluidgrids auth set-token YOUR_TOKEN.
fluidgrids auth status shows which identity is active. See the CLI Reference.
