# Machine Portal

## **Overview**

Each customer gets access to a dedicated machine portal, enabling you to perform tasks such as workstation reboots, password resets, and rebuilds.

## **Portal access**

{% hint style="warning" %}
As part of our tenant-defaults, access to this portal is available only via Computle Gateway, or another supported VPN/Zero Trust solutions.
{% endhint %}

By default, each tenant is provisioned with one user who has full administrative rights and access to the portal. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is required.

To access the portal, navigate to the unique URL provided to you, which typically follows the format:

```
tenantID.computle.net
```

If you haven't received this information, or require further assistance, please contact Computle support.

## **Machine controls**

* **Boot**: This button powers on the machine if it is currently powered off. Use this when you need to start a machine from a shutdown or powered-off state.
* **Shutdown**: Clicking this button safely powers down the machine.
* **Restart**: This button reboots the machine without powering it off completely.
* **Power Off**: This option forcibly turns off the machine, similar to cutting power to a physical system. This should only be used if the machine is unresponsive.
