How To Use BetterShield Ultra?

2 min read

Find every BetterShield Ultra screen for sign-in, reports, alerts, response, Cloudflare, schedules and updates.

In BetterShield Ultra, BetterShield › Ultra › Overview shows everything the add-on adds to this site and whether each feature is on, off or waiting for setup.

Note: These controls require the paid BetterShield Ultra add-on alongside the free BetterShield plugin.

What it does

BetterShield Ultra adds sign-in policies, trusted devices, temporary access, handover, branded sign-in screens, a Turnstile bot check, sign-in reports, alert destinations, client reports and a report for one person or role, response controls, Cloudflare controls, scheduled-work monitoring and longer activity history.

Step 1: Open the feature

Install and activate BetterShield first.

The overview links each feature to its own Ultra screen.

Step 2: Use BetterShield Ultra

  • Upload and activate BetterShield Ultra.
  • Open BetterShield › Ultra › Overview.
  • Select a feature card and configure its screen.
  • Enter a license key on Ultra › License to receive updates.

Nothing is configured from the overview itself. Each feature keeps its own defaults.

Our advice:

  • Start with sign-in policies and the sign-in report.
  • Add external alert destinations only after site email alerts are working.
  • Prepare recovery before enabling automated response or broad Cloudflare changes.

What it can break and how to undo

Opening the overview changes nothing. Individual Ultra features can affect sign-in, outgoing alerts, account access, files or Cloudflare.

Read the focused guide and its undo limits before turning a feature on.

Final Outcome

The overview lists the Ultra features available on the site.

  • Each card shows a state and opens the matching screen.
  • Ultra › License shows the saved update status after activation.
