Keep Your App Secure with User Login Features from Knack

User logins are important for businesses because they help to ensure security and authenticity. They also provide a way for businesses to track activity and gather analytics. Admins or managers use their user login to track the entire version of record from their admin account while keeping that level of detail away from the public. If you’re looking for a way to add an extra layer of security to your app, or if you want to give certain users different permissions, then you should check out Knack’s user login feature. With this feature, you could create different user roles and define what each role accesses.

Introducing the Knack Status Page!

We’re thrilled to announce the shiny new Knack status page! You can find it at status.knack.com.

If you ever experience an interruption in service, be sure to check the status page first. As soon as an issue arises, we’ll post about it there, and will then follow up with the resolution, cause, and other relevant details.

Moving forward, we’ll also be posting these updates to our dedicated Twitter status page. Follow along at @knackstatus!

We will use these pages to document both widespread and localized issues that we’re investigating. However, if you’re having trouble with your app and don’t see a recent update and explanation on the status page, you should reach out directly to support so we can help troubleshoot.

We want to keep our customers informed and up-to-date on anything that could be affecting their experience of Knack, and are excited about how these pages can help us do just that.

Happy building!
