Centralized administration in Virola Messenger

Virola gives IT administrators full control over team communication, user accounts, and data security. Whether you deploy it on-premises or on a virtual private server (VPS), you can manage your entire setup directly from the Virola client, keeping collaboration secure, compliant, and easy to maintain.

User management and permissions framework

Managing your team in Virola is simple from onboarding to offboarding:

• Flexible onboarding: Add accounts manually, import whole teams in bulk via Directory Server, or let employees self-register with verified corporate emails.
• Easy maintenance: Update profile details, reset passwords, or temporarily suspend accounts without disrupting team discussions.
• Flexible permissions: Set distinct access levels for individual employees, groups, and outside contractors. Control who can create public rooms, manage member lists, or edit and delete sent messages.

Diagnostics, monitoring and troubleshooting

Keep your communication system stable and responsive with built-in maintenance utilities:

• Live health monitoring: Track server activity, connection states, and background queues in real time to catch bottlenecks before they impact users.
• Crash report logs: Access collected error logs and crash reports in one place to speed up troubleshooting and support requests.
• RAM cache purging: Clear temporary memory with one click to instantly free up server RAM without a full restart.

Centralized server configuration and integrations

Manage network settings, account directories, and delivery services from a single dashboard:

• Directory Server sync: Connect your company directory server to import users automatically and avoid managing duplicate accounts.
• SMTP Mail Server: Link your email server for new users to verify their corporate email before joining.
• Push Notification gateway: Turn mobile notifications on or off globally across iOS and Android, or configure custom push alerts for Android devices.
• Crash simulations: Trigger test crashes in sandbox environments to safely verify your backup routines, watchdog services, and failover plans.
• In-App license management: View, add, or renew your Virola license keys directly inside the client without visiting third-party portals.
• Web Client options: Virola comes with a built-in browser client installed alongside the server, allowing team members to log in and chat directly from any web browser without downloading desktop software. From the administration menu, you can enable or disable the built-in Web Client and toggle the Web API to control access for external integrations and custom bots.
