Overview
In order for an end user to access the Work portal and make use of features in Automation Server, that user must be authenticated with an account created in such Work portal.
|
Cookies must be enabled to log into the Bizagi Work Portal |
|
Accounts are created in Bizagi from the user administration options found under the Work portal administration. For more information about such option, refer to Users administration. |
To authenticate, end users need the following information from their credentials:
1.User: A unique user name as defined by your admin.
2.Password: The personal password for your user.
3.Domain: The domain to which your user belongs to, as defined by your admin.
Domain field visibility
Several authentication methods (Bizagi, LDAP, Custom, Windows and Mixed) display the domain as a dropdown combo when and end user tries to access the Work Portal. For example using Bizagi authentication it will look like this:
This combo will only appear if after the following validations more than one domain can be displayed:
•If a domain only contains inactive users that domain will not appear.
•If the admin is the only user on the default domain (named domain by default), it will not appear.
|
You can change this behavior by adding the following keys in the Web.config file •To show domains with inactive users: •To show the admin domain: <add key="ShowAllDomains" value="1" /> |
Login options
To log in, simply input your user, password and domain.
When doing so you may consider using the login options available as radio buttons at the bottom of the screen.
•Remember my account and password: If this option is selected, the next time you access the Work Portal you will enter automatically.
•Remember my account: If this option is selected, the next time you access the Work Portal you will be presented with your user (and domain) automatically filled in.
You will need to enter the corresponding password.
•Always ask for account and password: By default or if this option is selected, nothing will change when compared to the first log in.
You will need to enter both the user (and domain), plus the password the next time you access the Work portal.
