Web IDE and remote access
How to use the Access tab to open the Web IDE, find your instance URL, connect to the database, and log in as an instance user.
The Access tab
Open an instance in the Console and click the Access tab. It gathers everything you need to reach the instance from outside the CICDoo dashboard.
Instance URL
The first card shows the public Instance URL (https:// plus your instance domain) with a copy button. This is the same address the Open Instance button in the header uses.
Web IDE
The IDE Access card gives you a browser-based code editor running on the instance:
- The IDE URL is your instance domain followed by /ide. Click the open button next to it to launch the IDE in a new tab.
- Below it is the IDE password. It is hidden by default; use the eye button to reveal it or the copy button to copy it to your clipboard, then paste it into the IDE login screen.
In a workspace, the IDE card is only visible to members with the editor permission.
Database connection
The Database Connection card lists the database name, database user, and the ports used by the instance. Under it you find a ready-made SSH tunnel command. Run that command from your own machine to forward the PostgreSQL port locally, then connect with any database client through the tunnel.
Remote sessions (Connect as user)
Separate from the Access tab, the Connect quick action in the instance header opens the Connect As User dialog. It lists the active Odoo sessions on the instance; search by name or login and click Connect to open the instance in a new tab as that user. In a workspace this requires the connect permission.
Plan requirements
IDE and remote session access are paid features. If your plan does not include them, the Access tab shows a notice that some access features require a Pro or Enterprise plan, with an upgrade link. Current prices are on the pricing page at cicdoo.com.
