Set up users
Application task

Set up the users for the mobile apps that are built with Mobility studio.

For each user, define:
  • The main menu that is shown if the user logs on to the mobile device. Note: if no menu is available yet, you must define the user menu later on.
  • The login settings to log in to the mobile app on a mobile device.
  • The app run time mode. Does the app run from cache or on the configuration?
  • For each applicable company, the roles of the user in the company.
The roles define which processes are applicable to the user. If the user menu has processes that are not applicable to the user, these are not shown to the user on the mobile device.
