It\u2019s designed so individuals and teams can keep accounts safe while also meeting organizational and compliance needs.<\/p>\n<h3>Account Sign-In<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Email + password<\/strong> with email verification.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Single sign-on options<\/strong>: Google and GitHub.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enterprise SSO<\/strong> support for organizations that centralize identity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Password reset<\/strong> via secure, time-limited links.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Add <strong>two-factor authentication<\/strong> for an extra layer of security at sign-in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Backup codes<\/strong> are provided for recovery if you lose your second factor.<\/li>\n<li>Sensitive security values (2FA secrets, backup codes) are never exposed back to the client.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Sessions &#038; Devices<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Active sign-ins are tracked as <strong>device sessions<\/strong>, including device type (desktop\/mobile\/tablet) and the IP address used.<\/li>\n<li>Sessions <strong>expire automatically<\/strong> and can be reviewed; signing out ends a session.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>API Keys (For Developers)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Generate <strong>API keys<\/strong> to access Fruitask programmatically.<\/li>\n<li>Each key has <strong>scoped permissions<\/strong> (read, write, delete, admin) and an optional <strong>expiry<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Keys track <strong>last used<\/strong> status so you can spot stale or unused keys and revoke them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Permissions &#038; Access Control<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Workspace access is <strong>role-based<\/strong>: Viewer, Editor, or a Custom set of granular permissions.<\/li>\n<li>Permissions cover data (rows\/columns), members, comments, chat, automations, plugins, launching public pages, and AI actions \u2014 and can be <strong>scoped per table<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>most restrictive<\/strong> rule wins when workspace and table permissions overlap, preventing accidental over-exposure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Auditing &#038; Monitoring<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>An <strong>audit log<\/strong> records key actions with the user, action, IP address, device\/user agent, and whether it succeeded or failed \u2014 useful for investigating account activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Data Protection<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sensitive credentials you store (such as your <strong>AI API keys<\/strong> and <strong>external storage provider secrets<\/strong>) are <strong>encrypted<\/strong> and never returned to the browser.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Public vs. private files<\/strong>: private files are access-controlled with temporary, expiring links.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bring your own storage<\/strong> lets organizations keep files in infrastructure they control (e.g., for data-residency needs).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Privacy &#038; Compliance<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Fruitask provides standard legal and compliance resources, including <strong>Privacy Policy<\/strong>, <strong>Terms of Service<\/strong>, <strong>Cookie Policy<\/strong>, <strong>GDPR<\/strong> information, a <strong>Data Processing Agreement<\/strong>, a <strong>subprocessor list<\/strong>, and <strong>data deletion\/export<\/strong> options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Where to Find Security Settings<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2FA, sessions, sign-in methods, password<\/strong>: Account \u2192 Security.<\/li>\n<li><strong>API keys<\/strong>: developer\/API settings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Permissions &#038; roles<\/strong>: workspace member\/collaborator settings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Legal\/compliance<\/strong>: the policy pages in the footer (Privacy, Terms, GDPR, DPA, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Requirements &#038; Access<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Some controls (enterprise SSO, audit visibility, advanced data governance) are aimed at higher plans and organization admins.<\/li>\n<li>API access requires generating a key with the appropriate scope.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Limits &#038; Notes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Revoking an API key or ending a session takes effect immediately for new requests.<\/li>\n<li>Turning on 2FA strongly improves account security \u2014 store your backup codes somewhere safe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tips for Enhanced Security<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Enable <strong>2FA<\/strong> on every admin\/owner account.<\/li>\n<li>Give integrations <strong>scoped, expiring API keys<\/strong> rather than broad, permanent ones.<\/li>\n<li>Use <strong>Custom roles<\/strong> and <strong>per-table permissions<\/strong> to follow least-privilege access principles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Security <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":546,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fruitask"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fruitask.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fruitask.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fruitask.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fruitask.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fruitask.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=547"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fruitask.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":548,"href":"https:\/\/fruitask.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547\/revisions\/548"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fruitask.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fruitask.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fruitask.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fruitask.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
