Set Up OnSite Users

Follow these steps to set up users to access OnSite.

Note : If you notice on the OnSite sign-in screen that there are lowercase user names, be aware that these user names were automatically created by Okta. Okta is case-insensitive so that when Okta auto-creates users, the names are lower case in OnSite. You must delete these lowercase Okta-generated user names and create new ones from Web Central; the names created in Web Central will be in uppercase. When you log into OnSite again, you will not see the users with lowercase names.

Step 1: Create an IdP Account

Ensure that OnSite users have an account in the selected identity provider platform (IdP).

Step 2: Add the User to the Archibus Users Table

Run the System / Archibus Administrator - User and Security / Add or Edit Users task and create Archibus user accounts (records in the afm_users table) for OnSite users.

  • The Archibus user name ( afm_users.user_name) must be the same as the user name (email) in the identity provider platform.

  • For each user, set “Mobile Device Enabled?” ( afm_users.mob_device_enabled) to Yes.

  • For each user, ensure that the User Role you assign ( afm_users.role_name ) belongs to the OPS-MOB security group . This provides users with the required permissions.

Step 3: Create a Craftsperson Record

For each OnSite user, create a corresponding record in the Craftspersons (cf) table.

The value for the email address in the Craftsperson record ( cf.email ) must match the value for this user in the Archibus Users table ( afm_users.email ). This is required because this value is the link that OnSite uses to find the corresponding Work Request records when a user logs in.

Step 4: Craftsperson Logs in to OnSite

Once the above steps are taken, the user can sign into OnSite. For details, see Sign In to OnSite .
