User with profiles
 |
|
If profiles are configured correctly and the parent user accesses the app with the standard login procedure a PIN authorization view will be displayed asking the user to enter the 4-digit unique PIN.
 |
Profiles are an enhance security configuration that allow changing between users without a system password.
To enhance security, profiles with PINs can be used to allow profile switching from the same device with access only to the profiles associated with the PIN.
To access EarthRanger Mobile with a PIN you'll have to enter your 4-digit PIN for the PIN Profile.
This PIN is assigned when creating the users once the site is set up. |
Remember that the PIN assignment and profile creation have to be done manually in the admin.
Switching users
Once authenticated with a user PIN, that user will be associated with Tracks, Patrols and Events created on the device.
 |
If you've got a PIN and either have your own profiles or are part of a profile set owned by the logged-in user, you'll spot the 'Switch Active User' button. Give it a tap, and you´ll bring up the PIN authorization view, making it easy to switch over to another PIN-based user. |
If the PIN is incorrect, a PIN authorization error will be shown and the user will be able to try with a different code.
Logging out of the app
 |
The only user presented with an option to log out of the app is the user that authenticated with a username and a password. Users who switch based on PIN authentication are not able to log out of the app and can only switch to another PIN based user. |
