The top panel is a part of the interface which, depending on the account type and enabled services, can contain the following elements:
- management system logo;
- button for going to the Dashboard;
- number of days left until the account is blocked (if the Block by days option is enabled);
- number of units which can be created before reaching the limit (shown only for top accounts);
- Apps button which opens the list of available applications;
- сurrent time (a time zone is specified in brackets);
- icon for logging in as another user;
- username (if you have logged in as another user, the name of this user is specified in brackets next to yours). A click on the username opens the user menu.
If the current time is shown in red, it means that the connection with the server has been lost. This can be caused by a lack of internet connection or internal problems of the service.

Logging in as another user
You can log in to the management system on behalf of other (subordinate) users. To do this, you should have the Act on behalf of this user access right to them.
There are three ways to log in as another user:
- from the login page (the same feature is available in the monitoring system);
- using the icon in the top panel (also available in the monitoring system);
- using the icon in the Users section.
Notices and attention messages
Below the username, you can see notices from the service administrator. To receive them, the Notices to users service should be enabled for your account.
In addition, here you can see attention messages about blocking your account. These messages don’t depend on the Notices to users service.
Notices are shown in a blue frame, and attention messages in a red one.
