How to create a LMS seamless sign-in rule
- Set up the rule details. Learn more here.
Once the rule details have been completed, the login type can be selected and set up.
-
Select the 'LMS seamless sign-in' option.
-
Add any checks you need on the other tabs, such as IP Address or Referral URL.
-
To limit access, add email addresses to 'Restrict by email address'.
-
To block access, add email addresses to 'Deny by email address'.
'Restrict by email address' and 'Deny by email address' work the same way:
- One entry per line
Add each email address or domain on its own line. - Individual readers
Enter a full email address, such as john.doe@mycompany.com. - Whole domains
Enter an asterisk followed by the domain, such as *@mycompany.com, to include everyone with that email domain.
- Select Save, or Save & Edit to save and keep working on the rule.
- Name rules after their audience
Include the domain or group in the rule name, such as 'Reader Login (*@yourcompany.com)', so it's easy to find later. - Add extra checks
Use the the other tabs, such as IP Address or Expected Visitors for extra control. - Start with your domain
Adding *@yourcompany.com to 'Restrict by email address' is a quick way to keep documents within your organisation.
