How to Set Up an Identifier Login

Updated

An identifier login lets operators sign in to a shared device with a personal code instead of a full account login. This is useful when operators share devices instead of having their own.

This article covers setting up identifier login on a device. To log in once setup is done, see how to log in with an identifier.

As an admin, you set this up in three steps: add the device, authenticate it, and give each operator a code.

To reach the device list: go to Management → Devices.

Add the device

This is the device your operators will use. You'll do this for each individual device.

  1. Click the yellow plus button.
  2. In the Name field, type the device's name.
  3. Add a Device Group to copy the group's settings.
  4. In the Type dropdown, select the device type.
  5. Click Add. You can change the other options later.

Authenticate the device

  1. On the admin's device, next to the device, click Copy unique device link and share it with the operator.
  2. On the operator's device, open the link and click Sign in with identifier (needs setup).
  3. The operator's device will open the camera to scan a QR code and will display a 6-digit code.
  4. Back on the admin's device, click Setup Sign in with identifier button at the top
  5. Toggle the Ask for password when signing in with identifier for additional security .
  6. You can now authenticate the operator's device by choosing to:
  • Scan the QR-code with the operator's device camera.
  • Verify that the code matches with operator's device and clicking Approve .

Operators can now log in to this device using their identifier.

Repeat the above steps for each device that you want to register.

Give operators an identifier code

  1. Go to Management → Users.
  2. Click the (three-dot) icon next to the operator, then click Edit user.
  3. Type the code in the Login identifier field, then click Save.

Remove the identifier login option from the device

  1. Next to the device, click Copy unique device link.
  2. Open the link in a new browser tab.
  3. Click the (three-dot) icon in the top right.
  4. Click Reset "Sign in with identifier", then click OK.
