How to Login to the Azumuta App With an Identifier

What Is an Identifier? #

Another possible method to login to an Azumuta workspace is by using an identifier. An identifier is a personal code that is commonly used to authenticate an Azumuta user, allowing them to login to an Azumuta workspace.

Identifiers can be used by operators to login to an Azumuta workspace, be it on the app or the browser version of the app.

In this guide webpage, we will only focus on using an identifier to login to the app. If you want to learn more about using an identifier to login to the browser version of the app, click here.

An identifier is a convenient login method, especially if the operator doesn’t have their own individual Azumuta user account and shares their user account with other operators.

How does it work? Well, in a nutshell:

• Step 1: The operator scans a QR code
• Step 2: An admin creates an identifier code for that operator.
• Step 3: An admin activates the option to login using an identifier on the device that will be used by that operator.
• Step 4: The operator logins to the App using the identifier.

 

The steps above are meant to set up this feature for the first time. If the identifier has been set up, then the operator who wishes to use this feature will only need to do Step 4.

We will explain each step further in the guide sections below:

 

Step 1: The Operator Scans a QR Code on the Admin’s Screen #

In the first step, the admin must show a special QR code to set up the option to login using an identifier to the operator. Then, the operator must scan that special QR code using their device. Here’s how to access that QR code:

How to Open this Special QR Code #

1. Click on “Devices” under “Management”.
2. Click on “Setup “Sign in with identifier””.

 

The Operator Scans this Special QR Code #

1. Now, the operator should open the login page on their device and click on “Sign in with identifier”.
2. Scan the QR code that was generated by the admin.

This QR code is only valid for one minute before it automatically refreshes.

 

Step 2: The Admin Creates an Identifier Code for the Operator #

The second step is to create an identifier code for that operator:

1. Click on “Users” under “Management”.
2. Click on “Overview”.
3. Click on the three-dot icon next to the user account for which you want to create an identifier.
4. Click on “Edit user”.
5. Under the “Login identifier” field, type in the identifier code.
6. Click on “Save”.
7. Share this identifier code with that operator.

Tip: Each operator on your workspace that wishes to login using an identifier must have a different identifier code.

 

Step 3: The Admin Activates the Option to Login Using an Identifier on the Operator’s Device #

After you’ve created the identifier on step 2, it’s time to activate the option to login using an identifier on a device:

1. Click on “Devices” under “Management”.
2. Next to the device where you would like to activate the option to login using an identifier on, click on the three-dot icon.
3. Click on “Edit device”.
4. Click on the Security tab.
5. Tick the box next to “Allow authentication using login identifier”.
6. Click on “Save”.

 

Step 4: The Operator Logins With an Identifier #

After the identifier has been set up by the admin, the option to type in the identifier code will appear on the login screen on the operator’s device, as shown below:

The operator should input the identifier code that was shared by the admin on that field.

 

How to Remove the Login With an Identifier Option #

Would you like to remove the option to login with an identifier on an operator’s device? Then you should tell that operator to disable this feature on their device. Here are the steps to disable this feature:

1. On that operator device’s login screen, click on the three-dot icon at the top right corner of the screen.
2. Click on “Reset “Sign in with identifier””.
3. Click on “OK”.
