Introducing Big Screen role and tokenized access

To make it easier to manage digital signage displays in your newsroom, Marfeel is introducing a url token-based mechanism to automatically log in BigScreen sessions without using explicit users and passwords.

To enable this, account administrators can create users with the Big Screen user role. The Big Screen role has the same access level as a Viewer user, but has the ability to generate an access token.

Once the user has been created, both the user or the admin can generate an access token from the Permissions tab of the Profile of the user:

  1. Go to Permissions
  2. Click on Generate Login Token
  3. Append this queryparam to any url to generate a token-based signed url ?token=<token_here>

The UI helps you copy the generated token to the clipboard or open a basic Big Screen url you can use.
