How to Set Up an Identifier Login

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 shows a short verification code (and may open the camera to scan a QR code on devices that have one).
  4. Back on the admin's device, click Setup Sign in with identifier at the top.
  5. Toggle Ask for password when signing in with identifier if you want operators to enter a password after selecting their identifier.
  6. Complete setup using one of these methods (they are alternatives - use one or the other):
    • QR code (camera available): on the operator device, scan the QR code shown in the admin setup view. Scanning verifies the token and enables identifier login on that device directly. There is no verification-code match and no Approve click.
    • Verification code (cameraless tablets): on tablets without a camera, the operator device only shows the verification code. In the admin setup view, find the pending device entry, confirm the code matches the one on the operator device, then click 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.
