Sanas auto activation mode

  • PDF

Article summary

Overview:

This guide provides instructions on enabling auto-activation for the app, allowing end users to activate without needing a User Activation key.

By capturing the operating system username and domain, the app can automatically create user accounts in the mapped workspace within the default team, eliminating the need for administrators to manually create user accounts.

Note: The traditional User Activation key mechanism will still be available.

Key Points:

  • Admin Role: Only administrators have the authority to configure and manage the App Activation Mode.

  • System Configuration: Auto-activation is supported for domain-joined machines (Azure AD or on-premises) in new workspaces.

  • Existing Workspace & User Limit: To enable Auto Activation successfully, the workspace must contain one user (not more than 1)

Tip: Existing license users are not eligible for auto-activation if the user count is greater than one. To enable auto-activation, a new workspace must be provisioned, and users associated with the existing license can be added to this new workspace.

  • Activation Mechanism: Auto Activation serves as an alternative mechanism for user activation, while the User Activation Key mechanism remains in place.

  • Once the installation is complete, you may launch an application.

  • Add users to the workspace.

  • Once the users are added, their username will also be visible in the Sanas application as shown below:

  • No credentials are required. The app automatically captures the user’s details upon launch, allowing immediate use, with all information recorded in the Sanas Admin Portal.

Disclaimer: All users on a machine will automatically be added to the workspace. This means that any user account logged in on a machine that has access to the Sanas Portal will be included in the workspace by default.

Administrators should ensure that only authorized personnel use machines that have access to the Sanas Portal to maintain the security and integrity of the workspace.
