Hi there,
No, it's not necessary to have a Laserfiche Account in order to log into Laserfiche Forms! A user only needs a license associated with their account, which you have already indicated that they have. To allow your users to log in with their Windows accounts, you'll simply follow this process:
- From the Forms Server tab of the Forms Configuration page, specify the Active Directory domain controller that Forms will use for information about domain users. This will allow Forms to access Active Directory in order to find the email address and display name associated with each domain user.
- To allow users to log into Forms without specifying a domain before their user name, just enter to domain name into the Windows Domain Name field on that same page. If you do this, a user will just need to type in their Windows username and password; for me, my username would look like “kelsey.frost.” If you don’t do this, the user will need to type in their full domain name and username in addition to their password; for me, this would look like “LASERFICHE\kelsey.frost.”
- Then, from the System Security tab of the Forms Settings page you can grant users and groups roles within Laserfiche Forms. These can be Windows users and groups or Laserfiche users and groups.
I hope this helps!
