Auto login users in Publisher

The auto login users functionality allows you to give users who do not have an account, view (and search) access to an instance, based on an organisation's setup. This works by enabling auto login users in an organisation and then sharing the newly created link with the users you want to have view access.

To create the auto login link, navigate to your Profile > System admin:


And in System admin, navigate to Users under Users, organisations & groups:

The Organisations screen is displayed:

In the Organisations screen, click More actions next to the organisation that you want to create the auto login link for and select Edit details:

The Organisation details screen is displayed: 

Click the Auto login checkbox to display a new field with the URL in it: 

Copy the URL that is displayed and then click Save to save your changes.

Now you can share the auto login link that you copied to the users that you want to give read-only access to.

Use cases

Below is a use case for this functionality, to ensure you get full use out of it.

1) This can be used to give access to prospective clients if Publisher to be used as a pitch portal.

2) Additionally, we can use this as basic access if a subscription-based access model is in place. Users and organisations will have to subscribe to get access to the platform.

When using auto-login, the platform can be accessed by anyone who is provided with the URL. Additionally, there is no personalised reporting, so we recommend that auto-login access is only used for a limited time.
