In this section are listed all SSO users with options to create new users, edit users, delete users and enable/disable ginstr for certain user.
 +
 +
This list of users is divided in multiple columns containing different info related to users. The table can be sorted by each of these columns by clicking on the sort icon[[File:sort.gif|link=]] located at the top right of each column heading.
 +
 +
;DB num: this column contains id of user which is generated by SSO server automatically. Each id is a unique identifier for each user.
 +
;main account: this column is only filled if the user is a [[sso_common_content#subaccounts|subaccount]] user, in which case it displays the main account of the [[sso_common_content#subaccounts|subaccount]] user
 +
;<span id="account_status">account status</span>: existing account statuses are:
 +
:*<code>ACTIVE</code>
 +
:*<code>SUSPENDED</code> (if for example user tried log in with incorrect password several times)
 +
:*<code>DELETED</code> (if account is no longer in use it can be assigned <code>DELETED</code> status and will be completely removed after several days)
 +
:*<code>UNCONFIRMED</code> (assigned to every new user until their account is [[sso_common_content#Activation|activated by clicking on the activation link in e-mail sent after registration]])
 +
;max subs: this column displays the maximum number of [[sso_common_content#subaccounts|subaccounts]] which the selected user can create.
 +
:This number is defined by <code>SUPERVISOR</code>/<code>ADMIN</code>/<code>MASTER</code> when creating new user or [[#edit|editing existing user]] on the '''[[#edit_users|edit users]]''' page or by [https://shop.ginstr.com/produkt-kategorie/subscriptions/ ginstr subscription] purchased from the [https://shop.ginstr.com/ ginstr shop].

 +
In the bottom right corner there is a list of all existing applications where <code>SUPERVISOR</code>/<code>ADMIN</code>/<code>MASTER</code> can enable/disable each app for the selected user, remove tables and data of certain apps for that user, set maximum amount of rows that can be added in table of some app and generate demo data for PLUS applications.
 +
 +
On top of this section there are 3 links :-
 +
:;activate all: enables all applications in the list below
 +
:;deactivate all: disables all applications in the list below
 +
:;remove all tables: removes all tables and data from the applications enabled in the list below

 +
 +
===enable ginstr/disable ginstr===
 +
 +
Disabling ginstr for a certain account means that the selected user will not be able to use the ginstr module at all.
 +
 +
Upon the expiry of a [https://shop.ginstr.com/produkt-kategorie/subscriptions/ ginstr subscription], ginstr is automatically disabled for that account.
 +
 +
The '''enable ginstr/disable ginstr''' links in the ''''list of users'''' table allows a <code>SUPERVISOR</code>/<code>ADMIN</code>/<code>MASTER</code> to manually enable/disable ginstr for some accounts.
 +
 +
In case ginstr is enabled/disabled manually then [https://shop.ginstr.com/ ginstr shop] no longer has control over that account and all further actions in this regard on that account must be performed manually by a <code>SUPERVISOR</code>/<code>ADMIN</code>/<code>MASTER</code> (unless a [[#reset_ginstr|reset]] is performed).
 +
 +
===reset ginstr===
 +
 +
Clicking on the '''reset ginstr''' link for some account returns control of the account to [https://shop.ginstr.com/ ginstr shop] and all changes previously made manually by <code>SUPERVISOR</code>/<code>ADMIN</code>/<code>MASTER</code> are overridden.

 +
::A '''private''' application is published only for a certain user and is visible only for that certain user and no one else.
 +
::A '''public''' application can be '''active by default''' or '''not active by default'''.
 +
::*If a '''public''' app is '''active by default''' then it will be displayed for all existing and future accounts.
 +
::*If a '''public''' app is '''not active by default''' it will be displayed only for those accounts where a <code>SUPERVISOR</code> enables that app.
 +
:;owner of private application: If '''private''' is chosen from the '''type''' field, this drop down is used to select the username of user who will be able to use that application
 +
:;Display Name: This field is used to enter the name of the new app which will be displayed in SSO and in [[ginstr web]].
 +

 +
::For a '''public''' app, enabling this checkbox means that the new app will be displayed for all existing and future accounts.
 +
:;App ID: This field is for the unique identifier of the new app and must be entered for both '''private''' and '''public''' apps. App ID must be in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case camel case] and be the same as the name of the application zip file.

=Remote Commands=
  
 +
For troubleshooting/debugging purposes it is possible to execute certain commands on user devices remotely from [[ginstr web]].
  
−
When user with SUPERVISOR permission log in to SSO additional options appear in menu in top right corner:
+
The '''Remote Commands''' feature can help to greatly reduce the length of time required to resolve ginstr launcher issues on specific user accounts or specific devices by remotely accessing system settings and automatically retrieving relevant information from devices without the direct involvement of the end user.
  
−
*edit users
+
The [[#LauncherPreparedCommands|<code>LauncherPreparedCommands</code> system table]] is used to prepare the remote commands for execution, and the results of executed commands are reported in the [[#LauncherExecutedCommands|<code>LauncherExecutedCommands</code> system table]].

ginstr logo main.png SSO Supervisor / Admin / Master Specific Content

General

In SSO server the following roles are defined, in ascending order of access rights:

  • USER
  • ADMIN
  • MASTER
  • SUPERVISOR

"Standard" users (i.e. registered via sign up form) have the role USER, which allows them to perform actions on themselves and their subaccounts only.

ADMIN, MASTER and SUPERVISOR are special user roles with increased permissions.

additional options in SUPERVISOR menu
action SUPERVISOR role MASTER role ADMIN role USER role
delete can delete all users can delete ADMIN & USER users only can delete USER users only cannot delete users
see can see all users can see ADMIN & USER users only can see USER users only can see himself and subusers only
modify can modify all users can modify ADMIN & USER users only can modify USER users only can modify himself and subusers only
add can add all users can add ADMIN & USER users only can add USER users only can modify himself and subusers only
update can update all users cannot update users cannot update users cannot update users

These roles are distinct from the roles defined here, which are user-created roles for permissions on tables of ginstr apps while SSO roles relate to permissions for SSO users.

When a user with SUPERVISOR permission logs in to SSO, the following additional options appear in the SSO lobby menu (accessed by hovering mouse over user name in top right corner of screen when logged in to SSO).

  • edit users
  • configure lobby
  • configure applications

When users with ADMIN or MASTER role log in to SSO, only the additional option 'edit users' appears in the SSO lobby menu.

section for editing user's applications
dialog for defining maximum amount of rows in each table of the selected app
dialog for generating demo data of PLUS applications

In the bottom right corner there is a list of all existing applications where SUPERVISOR/ADMIN/MASTER can enable/disable each app for the selected user, remove tables and data of certain apps for that user, set maximum amount of rows that can be added in table of some app and generate demo data for PLUS applications.

On top of this section there are 3 links :-

activate all
enables all applications in the list below
deactivate all
disables all applications in the list below
remove all tables
removes all tables and data from the applications enabled in the list below

Below these links is a list of modules (which are displayed in SSO lobby) and ginstr apps (which are displayed in the hide/show content section of the my account page for every main user account).

Before each module and application name there is a checkbox which can be used to manually activate / deactivate each separate module and application.

After each ginstr application name, one or more of the following icons will be displayed :-

delete icon.png delete icon
The delete icon appears after every ginstr application name, and when clicked opens a 'delete' dialog window with a security question.
If a SUPERVISOR/ADMIN/MASTER chooses 'yes' in the security dialog then all tables and data of the selected app belonging to the selected user will be removed.
pencil icon.png pencil icon
If tables of a ginstr app are already generated for the selected user, there will also be a pencil icon next to the application name.
Clicking on the pencil icon will open a dialog window to set the maximum amount of rows in each table of the selected app.
In this dialog window you can define the maximum amount of rows that can be added to each app table by user.
If the user attempts to add more rows than the maximum amount defined here, they will be shown an error message.
If no value is entered in a field, this means that an unlimited amount of rows can be added to table.
The limits applied here are saved when disabling an app for the selected user and are applied again if application is subsequently enabled for that user again.
arrow icon.png arrow icon
For PLUS applications there is an additional arrow icon.
Clicking on the arrow icon opens a dialog window for applying the predefined demo data for the language selected in the drop down to the PLUS app on the selected user account.

remove

Clicking the remove button on the 'list of users' table sets the selected account status to DELETED.

After several days, the selected account and all of its data will be completely removed from the ginstr cloud.

EULA decisions

EULA decisions page

Clicking the EULA decisions button on the 'list of users' table opens a dialog box which contains a record of when the EULA (End User License Agreement) was accepted or declined by the selected user.

enable ginstr/disable ginstr

Disabling ginstr for a certain account means that the selected user will not be able to use the ginstr module at all.

Upon the expiry of a ginstr subscription, ginstr is automatically disabled for that account.

The enable ginstr/disable ginstr links in the 'list of users' table allows a SUPERVISOR/ADMIN/MASTER to manually enable/disable ginstr for some accounts.

In case ginstr is enabled/disabled manually then ginstr shop no longer has control over that account and all further actions in this regard on that account must be performed manually by a SUPERVISOR/ADMIN/MASTER (unless a reset is performed).

reset ginstr

Clicking on the reset ginstr link for some account returns control of the account to ginstr shop and all changes previously made manually by SUPERVISOR/ADMIN/MASTER are overridden.

configure lobby

configure lobby page

In this section a SUPERVISOR can configure modules which are displayed in SSO server lobby.

For each module, the following modifications can be made:

  • name of module that will be displayed in SSO lobby
  • link to module address
  • icon which will be displayed in SSO lobby for that module
  • whether module should be displayed for all users by default in SSO lobby

configure applications

configure application page

On this page a SUPERVISOR can edit existing ginstr applications or add a new ginstr application to server.

The 'configure applications' table contains the following columns :-

  • App ID
  • Display Name
  • owner of private application
  • Active By Default
  • App version
  • Minimum ginstr launcher version
  • App Icon
  • Uploaded by
  • Uploaded on date

When a SUPERVISOR clicks on the

new application

button, the 'new application' page is opened consisting of the following fields:-

type
This drop down contains two options - private or public
A private application is published only for a certain user and is visible only for that certain user and no one else.
A public application can be active by default or not active by default.
  • If a public app is active by default then it will be displayed for all existing and future accounts.
  • If a public app is not active by default it will be displayed only for those accounts where a SUPERVISOR enables that app.
owner of private application
If private is chosen from the type field, this drop down is used to select the username of user who will be able to use that application
Display Name
This field is used to enter the name of the new app which will be displayed in SSO and in ginstr web.
Active by Default
This checkbox is not editable for private applications because such applications are visible only to the user defined in the 'owner of private application' drop down.
For a public app, enabling this checkbox means that the new app will be displayed for all existing and future accounts.
App ID
This field is for the unique identifier of the new app and must be entered for both private and public apps. App ID must be in camel case and be the same as the name of the application zip file.
After all required fields are filled, click on the
Browse...
button to select the new application .zip file from your local PC.
Once the .zip file is selected, click on the
save
button to start the upload process. The upload progress is displayed in the bar below the
Browse...
button.
When the upload is complete, a success message (with green background) confirms that the app has been added to the server and is now displayed in the configure applications page.
If there was a problem during the upload then an error message (with red background) will be displayed with advice on further steps required.

edit application page

edit application page

When a SUPERVISOR clicks on an app name on the configure applications page, the 'edit application' page is opened. This page is similar to the 'new application' page with a few differences.

With the exception of the checkbox 'Active By Default', none of the fields on this page are editable - only an updated zip can be uploaded with same app id.

If the new application zip file has some changes in table structure then a simple upload of new app version will not be possible and errors will be displayed when the upload is completed. In this case, a SUPERVISOR must remove the existing app and then create new app with same ID and upload the new zip containing the new table structure.

At the bottom of the edit application page, there are 3 buttons that do not exist on the new application page:

usage statistic CSV file example
usage statistic
When a SUPERVISOR clicks on this button, a CSV file is exported containing information regarding which accounts are using the selected application and how many records those accounts have in tables of that app.
remove tables
When a SUPERVISOR clicks on this button, a dialog window will appear with a security question.
If 'yes' is chosen then all tables of the selected application will be deleted for all accounts where that app is enabled.
Removal of tables means that the app tables are temporary deleted and their data is permanently deleted. On next log in, an account which has that app enabled can generate tables again but new tables will be empty
remove ginstr app
When a SUPERVISOR clicks on this button, a dialog window will appear with security question.
If 'yes' is chosen then the selected application will be removed from SSO and ginstr web and also all tables and data will be removed for all accounts where the app is enabled.

Remote Commands

For troubleshooting/debugging purposes it is possible to execute certain commands on user devices remotely from ginstr web.

The Remote Commands feature can help to greatly reduce the length of time required to resolve ginstr launcher issues on specific user accounts or specific devices by remotely accessing system settings and automatically retrieving relevant information from devices without the direct involvement of the end user.

The LauncherPreparedCommands system table is used to prepare the remote commands for execution, and the results of executed commands are reported in the LauncherExecutedCommands system table.

  • for SUPERVISOR users, Remote Commands can be used on all devices belonging to all user accounts.
  • for Main Users, Remote Commands can be used only on devices previously connected with the Main User account.

LauncherCommands

The LauncherCommands system table provides a list of possible remote commands as detailed below.

Name id Description
enable system log enableSystemLog Enables system log on device
disable system log disableSystemLog Disables system log on device
get system log getSystemLog Retrieves system log files from specific device

LauncherPreparedCommands

The LauncherPreparedCommands system table is used to prepare the remote commands for execution and consists of the following columns :-

commandDescription

The column commandDescription is required to define a unique description for each command to be executed.

companyName

The column companyName is required to define which user accounts are targeted by the remote command. Each main user account has a unique, 6 digit identifier number which is displayed in brackets next to their user name in ginstr web general settings (displayed to user logged in to ginstr web upon clicking 'setup' in the drop down menu at top right of screen).

This identifier number should be entered in to the companyName field in the format mainUser101010. The remote command would therefore be executed only on the account with identifier number 101010, and also on the subaccounts belonging to that main user account.

SUPERVISOR users also have the option to target all ginstr user accounts by entering all in to the companyName field.

Note
using the all option without filling either deviceSerialNumber and/or userName fields will execute the remote command for all users of the ginstr platform and should be used with caution in exceptional circumstances only

userName

The column userName is used optionally to target a specific user name belonging to the main user account defined in the companyName column.

The specified user name should be entered in to the userName field in the format user@email.com

deviceSerialNumber

The column deviceSerialNumber is used optionally to target a specific device only belonging to the main user account defined in the companyName column.

The specified device serial number should be entered in to the deviceSerialNumber field in the format 123456789123456

Note
the deviceSerialNumber field can be used in conjunction with the userName field to target a specific user on a specific device

command

The column command is required to select the desired remote command from a drop down menu.

The remote commands available are listed in the LauncherCommands system table.

commandParams

The column commandParams is required only for the following remote commands in order to specify necessary parameters.

Name id Description commandParams commandParams example
enable kiosk mode enableKioskMode Specifies password to be set for kiosk mode on device kiosk mode password kioskPa55word
send SMS sendSMS Specifies recipient phone number and message to be sent via SMS phonenumber|message +385916665519|Hello world
Update launcher to latest version forceLauncherUpdate Specifies ginstr launcher version required on device.
If device has an earlier launcher version installed, Google Play Store will be opened on device and the user will be instructed to update to latest version 		launcher version 15072016

network

The column network is required to define which network the specified device(s) should be connected to when the remote command is executed.

  • With WIFI selected, only devices connected to the internet via a WiFi connection will be targeted by the remote command (when active)
  • With 3G selected, only devices connected to the internet via a 3G network connection will be targeted by the remote command (when active)
  • With ALL selected, all devices connected to the internet via WiFi or 3G network connection will be targeted by the remote command (when active)

eventType

The column eventType is required to define when the remote command should be executed.

  • With APPSTART selected, the remote command will (when active) be executed when the user starts a ginstr app
  • With LOGIN selected, the remote command will (when active) be executed when the user logs in to a ginstr app or ginstr launcher
  • With IMMEDIATELY selected, the remote command will (when active) be executed immediately

validFrom

The column validFrom is used optionally to define a start date/time, after which the remote command is executed (when active).

validUntil

The column validUntil is used optionally to define an end date/time, after which the remote command is no longer executed.

active

The column active provides the option to toggle each remote command on/off with a double-click.

Care should be taken to ensure that all other fields have been set up correctly before setting a remote command to active status.

LauncherExecutedCommands

The LauncherExecutedCommands system table provides an overview of the result of each remote command executed.

The companyName column displays the companyName (user account id) targeted by each remote command executed.

The userName column displays the userName targeted by each remote command executed.

The deviceSerialNumber column displays the deviceSerialNumber targeted by each remote command executed.

The command column displays the commandDescription assigned to each remote command executed.

The timestamp column displays the date & time when each remote command was executed.

The attachment column contains a link to any files retrieved by an executed remote command. Retrieved files can be downloaded to local PC by clicking the filename (e.g. report.zip)

The result column displays whether each executed remote command was a SUCCESS or if it FAILED for some reason.
