Setting Up Auto Login

Client Auto Login

Clients can log in automatically when launched, once you specify the Auto Login settings in the Client/Login section of the Project Properties window. This is typically used in situations where the client should login with a low access user, such as a 'guest' account. 

Set the Clients to Automatically Login

In this example, we will set the project properties to allow Ignition clients to automatically login.

1. In Designer, go to Project > Properties.
   The Project Properties window is displayed.
2. Scroll down to Vision > Login. 
3. Click the Enable Auto-Login checkbox.
4. Enter a Username and Password. 
5. Click OK.
   
   
    
6. Select the File > Save All to save your changes to the Gateway and your project.
   
   

When in a client that has auto login setup, if the user accidentally logs out there is a button on the login screen to allow the user to enter in the auto login credentials. That way there is no need for them to know any login credentials.
