Public Access Portals

Public Access Portals

GlobalSearch natively supports public access experiences. To enable unauthenticated, public access to GlobalSearch, first enable the Guest user account in User Management.

In User & Groups select the Edit Tab, and enable the toggle for Guest User.

Once enabled, a guest user can be secured to any Database and to any Archives, exactly like a normal user. Do note, guests are exclusively read only users and may only be assigned Read Only or Guest licensing.

Guests can be linked directly into GlobalSearch with a URL resembling:

https://square9.cloud/db/10/archive/1/search/10?instance=https:%2F%2FYOURFQDN%2Fsquare9api&user=guest

In this example:

  • Database ID = 10

  • Archive ID = 1

  • Search ID = 10

  • GlobalSearch Instance = https://YOURFQDN/square9api

  • User = guest

Adjust parameters accordingly for your environment.

GlobalSearch Login Screen

The login page can be updated to include a guest login button. The environment’s config.json requires an additional entry to add Guest Login. Add the following line, or for Cloud customers, contract support@square-9.com to enable the button for your environment.

"enableGuestLogin": true
