Add an OAuth User to App Manager

OAuth authenticated users are identified in Digitise Apps by their Google Gmail e-mail address, e.g. MyUser@gmail.com. Each user that you want to use OAuth to login to Digitise Apps must, therefore, have a Gmail account.

 

Before a user can use OAuth authentication to login to their Digitise Apps Client or Standalone App(s), they need to be added into App Manager.

To add an OAuth user:

  1. Within App Manager display the User category and then click on Users at the head of the tree view on the left to display a list of currently configured users in the right-hand pane.

  2. To add a new user, choose the Add button.

  3. Enter the Gmail e-mail address of the required user in the Name field.

  4. Below the Name field, you will see a drop-down list option. Drop down the list and select Use Google Authentication.

  5. The Set Password button will be disabled as you don't need to enter a password here for OAuth users.

  6. Click on the Update button towards the top right-hand corner of the window to save your new user.

  7. If you have more users to add, click on the Yes button to add the next user. Otherwise click No to finish adding users.

  8. When you finish adding users, the full list of users will be redisplayed and you should see your newly entered user included.

Once you have added one or more OAuth users, you can include them in any access control lists to restrict access to your Digitise apps. You add an OAuth user to an access control list in the same way as you would add a Digitise Apps User. Display the properties for the required app and then choose the Add button below the Access Control list. Make sure Users is selected at the top of the selection dialog box displayed and then select the required user from the list and click on the OK button. The user's Gmail address will appear in the Access Control list and you can set the Access to Allow or Deny as required.
