Profiles

With the introduction of Profiles to the EarthRanger Mobile app, you can switch from logged in user to a PIN-authenticated profile user within the app. 

  • Profiles are an enhanced security configuration that allow user context switching without a system password. 
  • Profiles with PINs can be used to allow profile switching from the same preferred device with access only to the profile associated with the PIN. 
  • This discourages the ability for users to select a profile they are not intended to have access to.

If Profiles are not set up, the app will work with the single-user workflow by default.

 

 

To use Profiles, first complete the required setup steps:

Admin Profile Setup 

 

Once you have set up one or more User Profiles linked to a Parent Profile, please read more about how to use Profiles on Mobile and Web:
