Accessing Devices with Lyve Portal Identity

The Lyve Portal Identity security option lets you unlock connected Lyve devices by entering a username and password in Lyve Client.

After you’ve signed in, Lyve Client is authorized to unlock and access assigned Lyve devices. Lyve Client remains authorized for up to 30 days of active use or 15 days of inactivity. Once the authorization period has elapsed, you must sign in again with your username and password to access connected devices.

Requirements

• Product admin has invited the product end user to be added to the account in Lyve Management Portal.
• Product admin set up projects, added devices to projects, and assigned the product end user to the same projects.
• Devices have been delivered to the product end user.
• End user has downloaded and installed Lyve Client on a computer they will use to unlock Lyve Mobile devices.

Sign in using Lyve Client

You created a username and password in Lyve Management Portal in one of two ways, depending on your role in the account:

Account creator—You set up an email address, username, and password when you initially created the account.

Other role—A user manager added your email address to an account, org, or project in Lyve Management Portal. An email was sent to you from Lyve Management Portal inviting you to set up your username and password.

If you’re opening Lyve Client for the first time, click Get Started on the Welcome screen, and then click Sign in under Lyve Portal Identity:

If Lyve Client has been opened previously but no user is currently signed in, click on the user icon in the navigation bar:

 Alternatively, click Settings in the navigation bar and then click Sign in under Lyve Portal Identity.

If another user is currently signed in and you want to switch users, click on the user icon in the navigation bar and select Switch user:

Device locking

Lyve Client must be open and you must be signed in to access connected Lyve Mobile Arrays. A Lyve Mobile Array will lock when:

• The computer running Lyve Client goes to sleep.
• Lyve Mobile Array is ejected.

• Lyve Mobile Array is powered off.

Use Lyve Client to unlock Lyve Mobile Array again once the computer has been awakened or the device has been reconnected and powered on.
