Introduction
In Magnetiq, there are three types of users: Administrators, Managers, and Viewers.
Administrators and Managers can edit event data, while Viewers do not have permission to modify attendee data. Viewers are limited to viewing the list and performing check-in operations, making them ideal for teams responsible for welcoming attendees during an event.
The standard way to add Viewers to your workspace is simple: inviting them to create their own account. For detailed instructions, please refer to the Managing Workspace Members article.
Managing Emails and Passwords for Viewer accounts
In time-sensitive situations, such as when a Viewer forgets their password or doesn't have immediate access to their email, you can use placeholder email addresses and generate a temporary password for them. This allows for quick access without the need for immediate email verification.
Here’s how to do it:
Go to the Members section (dropdown menu on the top right).
Click on the Add Member button (top right).
Invite the new member as Role: Viewer using a placeholder email address.
The Viewer will appear among the Pending Invitations, as they haven’t created an account yet.
Click on the Manage member link next to their name.
In the pop-up window, click on the Generate password reset page button.
This will create a temporary Password Reset page (valid for 4 hours), along with a link to access it.
Share this link with the Viewer, so they can quickly set their password and gain access to the application.
Authorize Viewers to access the event
Once you've created Viewer accounts, always remember to authorize them to access the event, as described in the related article.
