Unique Login

It is possible to define (in the client configuration) whether each mobile user can be logged in only once. To do this, tick the option “Unique login”.

If this option is enabled, only one mobile user with this mobile phone will be able to log in. If another mobile user tries to login with the same phone number, his login connection will be rejected. If the same mobile user logs out and tries to log back in, a web user needs to allow him/her to log in again by clicking on “Unlock login” on the user information page.

To enable a web user role to have the right to unlock a mobile user, grant him the role “Unlock Login” in the role management page.

 

 

Cheat code for the mobile user to log in on the app

Normally, the mobile user receives a One Time Password to input when logging in. The other alternative is to use a defined cheat code in the client configuration panel to allow any user to access a user account.

Define and assign roles for mobile users

Roles can be defined in the client configuration. A role is used to determine which dashboards a mobile user can view on his mobile app. When creating a dashboard, you can select the mobile user roles to determine who can see it.

Edit a mobile user

Simply click on the pencil icon at the right to edit the information.

License / Unlicense a mobile user

To assign or remove a license to a mobile user, click on the toggle button in the licensed column.

 

Or you can select the mobile users on the left, and click on Attach or Detach License.

Delete a mobile user

Click on the delete icon, then type the name of the user to confirm the deletion.
