hey there,
I am request a solution
I am creating an entry UI that will be used by hundreds of our associates. this ui will be used to generate a ticket
and here is the problem: i dont want to create this many users on the gateway (currently i have 400 user configured on gateway)
So I thought, Why don't I create a table for the user with there details and use that table to log in along with other details? (This will help me automate user registration and reduce my unessential task.)
Is this possible, and if yes (of course), then how?
Generally speaking you'd want a database connection for your users and a user source configured. You'd then import the users and their roles from your own DB into your Ignition DB via the query browser.
There is a user source type that specifically delegates to tables in your database. Use that. (You will have to manage the users in that DB yourself--Ignition will only read from it, IIRC.
What Phil said, but make sure you provide Ignition with the correct SELECT statements to match your created schema. Otherwise, you will be left with unhappy users
