Flow for Login and Logout

The system behavior of the Web Application when users are Logging In, or Logging Out, mainly depends on the combination of these three configuration factors:

  • Is Auto Login Enabled?
  • Is User Account Change allowed?
  • Is the Default User enabled?

"Logging In" Process

The Login Process is triggered every time when a User

  • navigates to the SAI360 web application either via a bookmark, hyperlink, or by manually typing the URL
  • clicks on a Login button on the Logout page

Here is what will happen:

Auto Login

Warning WARNING:

With this particular combination, the web application can ONLY be accessed via auto-login. It will NOT be possible to manually log into SAI360. Therefore, before applying it make sure that:

  • Auto-login is working.
  • Some of the auto-logged in users do have Administrative Roles, which would enable them to make changes to the web application.
  • Should you have inadvertently locked yourself out of the System, you must contact the SAI360 Help Desk for assistance.
