Setting up Auto-Login or Read-Only Access for Guest Visitors


Once you're logged in, click on the SECURITY button from the main application page. Only users with "master" access can perform this function. This setup assumes you've already read through the security tutorial earlier in this material. If you haven't done that please go there now.


The following feature gives you a URL that you can either provide to guests, or use in your own website so that visitors can directly access your account without having to log in.

You can watch a video tutorial on this process via the image below.



In a nutshell:

From the dashboard, choose the Security/Users icon. You must be a "master" user under the account to modify this information.

Suppose you want to add a new user so that you can handshake/link our database to your own website. You could do the following:
* Add a New User
* Put in a unique username and password
* Check both the View Only and No Reports boxes, and nothing else
* Click Save
* When the list of users appears, click on the newly created user to edit
* You'll see new options at the bottom of the subsequent page
* The hyperlink that appears in the first box can be used by your own website as a direct login to your account data for guests so they can search your records and view your maps
* The bottom text box can be filled in with your own website redirect URL so that when the guest visitor logs off of our site they can return safely to yours
