Capacity bar :
The capacity bar allows you to have an overview of the disk space usage of your helixee.

Users list :
The user list lists all the people on your helixee. You can directly manage the space assigned to each user, modify their role or block the account.

Sent invitations :
Invitations sent and awaiting acceptance by the new user are kept for 2 weeks in this list before being automatically cancelled. You can return an invitation or cancel it.

User suggestions :
Users can suggest new users to the owner by providing their name, first name and email address. The owner can then invite him or her or refuse the invitation.

Each User of the helixee has a storage space defined by the owner.
The size of this space is 5 GB by default, however the owner can change it at any time.

You can restrict a user’s access in 3 ways:

• Reduce your quota:
  By reducing a user’s quota to 0 GB, they will no longer be able to add data to their account, they will still have access to their data and will be able to create and share spheres.
• Change the role:
  By changing a user to “Guest”, you block access to his data, he will only be able to consult and interact with the spheres to which he is invited.
  However, his data is not deleted from the helixee, so when you give him back the “User” rights he will have access to all his data.
• Disable the account:
  In the user list, checking the “Inactive” box will block the user’s access to the helixee. All his data is kept, he will be able to find them as soon as the access is granted again by the owner.
