Security Settings and Other Considerations

The IndyGo Kiosk/Mobile Application follows rules similar to the main IndySoft client and allows security items to be set per profile.

Security Settings

Security settings that affect the Mobile/kiosk-style application are the following:

Block User From Modifying Equipment Image

Allow Users to Pair RFID Tags

Allow Users to Unpair RFID Tags

Block User from IndyData REST API

Major differences in behavior are that the Kiosk/Mobile Application user can have only one profile possible upon login, and all default companies will come from the "DEFAULT" user/location for that user. In other words, there is no way in the IndyGo Mobile Application to update the user/location, and only the base profile will determine the security settings for the user.

In this example, user ANGELENA's base profile is "System Administrator." All security settings applicable to the mobile application will be inherited from that base profile, even when dealing with ABC Scale- Greenville Scale Division's equipment.

Having "No Access" as your base profile is the exception to the rule above. "No Access" has no security items at the database level and is primarily used to restrict the user only to be able to see equipment for companies with those exceptions. To assist with this, the "No Access" user will inherit security items only when their Employee Company matches a Company Exception with a valid profile. In the example below, the user GABRIEL has a base profile of "No Access" and is an employee company of MJCS. Because there is also a company exception that matches the MJCS company, the related security profile of "Standard User" will be used to inform security items for that user.

Please note that users with a base profile of "No Access" cannot log in unless they have the System-Wide Option in Workflow Configuration enabled.

Default Company Lookups for Event/Action related fields

In the main client system, if no default company is specified for specific fields in the user/location settings, the company currently exposed on the equipment view will dictate any company-based lists. IndyGo will function similarly, except it cannot be guaranteed that the user has logged into the main client system and selected a current company. If there is no default company for a list and no current equipment view company, the employee company related to the user logged-in will be used for any company-based list.
