User Authentication feature for QuickScan Select software

The User Authentication feature is designed to require all users to enter a user name and password in order to open the QuickScan program. Each user is assigned an access level, from 0 to 3, granting them privileges to certain features:



To activate this feature, you will need to copy the UserAuth.zip file (to a designated location or onto a flash drive if QuickScan is on another computer) and install it using the “Branding” button located in the Set Up screen.





First, be sure you have already installed the QuickScan Select software upgrade.
(You can hit the "Back" button in your browser if you haven't already downloaded and installed QuickScan Select.)

1. Click the red Download User Authentication button below.
   
   
2. When the File Download window appears, click “Save” – this will save the UserAuth.zip file to the desktop, designated folder, or flash drive (if transferring to the QuickScan computer).
   
   
   
   
3. Right-click the “UserAuth.zip” file and select “Extract All…” Use the Extraction Wizard to unzip the folder.
   
   
4. Open the QuickScan program by double-clicking the QuickScan icon on the desktop.
   
   
5. Click the “Set Up” button on the Main screen.
   
   
6. Click the “Branding” button on the Set Up screen.
   
   
7. Search for the UserAuth.branding file using the Branding dialog:
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   


8. When UserAuth.branding is in the “File name” box, click the “Open” button.
   
   
9. When the Branding dialog has closed, click the “Ok” button in the Set Up screen.

The program will automatically restart. The Authentication Required dialog will appear in the splash screen:












By default, there are two User Names:

User Name:	Password:	Level:
Admin	(please contact Tech Support for default password – you can change it later)	3
Viewer	none	0

The Level 3 user should log on the QuickScan, and click the “User Setup” button that appears on the Main screen (the “User Setup” button will only appear for Level 3 users). This button will allow the Level 3 user to edit, add, and delete any User Names, Levels, and Passwords:


This will initially show the default password entered – it is strongly recommended that the Level 3 user create his/her own secure password. Please remember/record your Admin password(s) – if it is lost or forgotten, call Tech Support for guidance.



Click “Add” to add users, choosing their levels and passwords. When users log on, they will need to choose the name that applies and enter the password.
