Author Authentication

Transcript

By default, authors don’t need to be logged in to use the Sidekiq. In order to enable authentication, it is sufficient to add relevant access statements to your site configuration. Upon encountering said access statements, the Sidekiq will enforce authentication with the respective provider, Microsoft for SharePoint-based projects, and Google for Google Drive-based projects. If not present already, create your site configuration file. In your site’s root folder, create a folder named .helix. Go to the folder named .helix. Create a new spreadsheet with the config name. Name the first column header key and name the second column header value. Open your site configuration file and add adminrole.author and or adminrole.publishkey slash value pairs as rows to your configuration sheet for each individual user or wildcard domain you’d like to give access to the site for. With the site configuration sheet still open, click the Sidekiq’s preview button. The next time the Sidekiq opens on a document, it will show a sign-in option. Once you click it, it will open a new browser tab, redirecting to your respective provider.
