Explore Authentication Options and Their Influence on Learner Interaction!

Are you curious about the User/Learner Experience when logging into SimGate? You can choose how participants log in to your published projects, the authentication flow's impact on user interaction, and what data is captured and where.

SCORM/LMS Authentication Flow:

  1. The user logs into the LMS.

  2. The user clicks a link in the LMS.

  3. The LMS sends the email, first name, and last name to our system and opens the course.

  4. The user is logged into SimGate automatically and proceeds through the course.

  5. Data is captured in both the LMS and SimGate Dashboard (Overview: Dashboard Facilitator & Admin Reports + Examples link explains the data captured automatically in the dashboard)

SSO Authentication Flow:

  1. The user opens the course link at "client.regis-co.com/project" (your custom URL)

  2. The user clicks a "Sign with Google/Microsoft/etc..." button

  3. The user is redirected to the sign-in page for your selected provider and signs in with their company account. This step is entirely in your control, and Regis has no control or knowledge of the user's account yet.

  4. Your provider (Google, Microsoft, etc...) sends the user's email, first name, and last name to our system and redirects the user back to the course.

  5. The user is logged into SimGate automatically and proceeds through the course.

  6. Data is captured in the SimGate Dashboard (Overview: Dashboard Facilitator & Admin Reports + Examples link explains the data captured automatically in the dashboard)

Direct Link Authentication Flow:

  1. The user’s email, first name, and last name are added to our system by an administrator as a “User” in the dashboard (manual or bulk upload) and they are assigned to a specific course session (session must be created first).

  2. The user opens the course link at "client.regis-co.com/project" (your custom URL)

  3. The user signs in with their company email and password.

    1. The user's password can be set in 3 different ways:

      1. By the admin when creating the user

      2. By sending the user a welcome email and having them click the link

      3. By having them use the password reset feature

  4. The user is logged into SimGate and proceeds through the course.

  5. Data is captured in the SimGate Dashboard (Overview: Dashboard Facilitator & Admin Reports + Examples link explains the data captured automatically in the dashboard)
