You can use your Windows Active Directory or Apple Open Directory to control user access to Music Monitor.
If external authentication is enabled, users can log on to a device with their school login and Music Monitor will allow them to click straight through without needing to enter credentials again.
For external authentication to be set up, you must have a Music Monitor TEAM License, FileMaker Server and Music Monitor version 8.1.36 or greater.
External authentication can be enabled in the FileMaker Server Admin Console. Select Administration > External Authentication. Then enable External Server Accounts under Database Sign In.
Next, create a Music Monitor group in your Windows Active Directory or Apple Open Directory called mmgroup1.
External authentication also needs to be activated inside Music Monitor. Select Settings (the gear icon) > Manage Login Accounts, then check the External checkbox under Settings. (For version 9.111 and earlier use Tools > System Admin > Manage Login Accounts, then check the External checkbox under Settings.)
Add users to Music Monitor from Settings (the gear icon) > Manage Login Accounts. (For version 9.111 and earlier use Tools > System Admin > Manage Login Accounts.) The Account Name for all users must be the same as the school user login.
The users registered in Music Monitor may be saved to excel. This allows Music Administrators to add users here and send the excel to IT to inform their management of the Directory.
