Question

Read Only licences with WebAccess?

Web Client Administration

Updated January 7, 2014

asked on January 7, 2014

I would like to use WebAccess rather than WebLink for a group of read only users that I have. I cannot set WebAccess to auto logon using this RO account. Part of the reason why I need it to be RO is to allow more instances than the 4 as restricted by a full license. Is it even possible to use WA in this manner -or- is it restricted to full licenses only?

Many thanks!

The issue isn't the read only aspect - You can certainly log into Web Access manually as a read-only user. However, only WebLink provides the concurrent public portal functionality that allows multiple users to all login as the same account. THATs why WebLink has more then 4 sessions, not because it's read-only. For everything else, even if you are logging in with a read-only account, you're logging in as a specific named user, and it's not allowed to have multiple people logging in as the same named user - hence the issues you are running into.

Auto-login can only be configured for integrated Windows Authentication. The closest you could come would probably be setting up a user profile for the read-only user and have people authenticate using the profile. However, this user is still limited to 4 simultaneous instances like any other user in Web Access.

Is there a reason why WebLink doesn't satisfy your use case and you wish to use Web Access instead?
