==== Create an Organization Unit (Optional) ====
−
To successfully setup myViewBoard users and the software suite, there are several things to consider:
 
  
−
* '''Access''' - do you have access to Entity Management and any other required access to setup users and install or deploy the software on your systems?
 
−
* '''Admin Rights''' - do you have admin rights to install software and/or access to Microsoft or Google admin for user setup with Single Sign On?
 
−
* '''Firewalls''' - do you have the option to setup your firewall to allow myViewBoard access?
 
−
* '''Filters''' - do you have any web filters that need to be setup to allow myViewBoard to function?
 
−
* '''Whitelisting''' - are you able to whitelist myViewBoard websites and email addresses?

==Checking and adding domains==
 
−
myViewBoard Entities are tied to specific registered domains. Check the "Domain" section of your Entity Management portal to see which domains are registered to your account.
 
−
By default, a single main domain is registered. Please check to make sure your registered domains match with your end user email addresses.
 
−
In some cases, you may have been assigned a virtual myViewBoard domain. An example virtual domain name will look like: <code>dnmxntk5mdm4ody0mdqw.at.myviewboard.cloud</code>
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
If any additional domains are needed, they can be added in the "'''Domains'''" section (#6 in [[Entity_Management#Layout_and_navigation|the above image]]).
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
To add a new domain, click the [[File:Entity Management Add User in domain tab button.png|55px|link=]] add button. After adding the domain, click the  [[File:Cog button Entity Management.svg|30px|link=]] cog to verify the domain. You can verify by either MX or TXT record.

==Configure Single Sign-On==
+
<br/>
−
myViewBoard has the option to setup Single Sign-On (SSO) with Microsoft Azure AD, Google G Suite, SAML, and SCIM. You can configure this in the "Single Sign-On" section (#7 in [[Entity_Management#Layout_and_navigation|the above image]]).

==Adding users==
 
−
Only users within a registered domain can be added. Please make sure the correct domain is setup in the "'''Domains'''" section before attempting user onboarding.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
myViewBoard has three options for adding users:
 
−
* Automatically using "User Sync" from the Single Sign-On identity provider.
 
−
* Manually via a CSV Import.
 
−
* Discover Domain-related users outside the entity.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===User Sync via SSO method===
 
−
After setting up your Single Sign-On, you will see the option for User Sync.
 
−
# Select User Sync
 
−
# Sign in with the admin account for your identity provider
 
−
# If prompted, allow myViewBoard access to your account
 
−
# Choose your desired user list you wish to sync (All Users, Groups, or Units)
 
−
# Confirm to Sync your users
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===Manual CSV method===
 
−
To manually add users to myViewBoard, you can use the provided CSV Template file to import multiple users.
 
−
To do this you will need to be able to open a CSV file using software such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
 
−
 
 
−
{{Note-yellow|'''Important note''' Email addresses will only be imported successfully if the email domain matches with a registered domain within the "'''Domains section'''". Please check the email addresses belong to domains that are currently registered with myViewBoard before attempting to upload the CSV file. The example below shows the registered domains within the entity, which will allow for any users within those domains to be added.}}

−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===Discover Domain-related users outside the entity===
 
−
There may be occasion where individual users have already setup a myViewBoard account prior to the entity being established, or scenarios where users have been accidently deleted from the entity being established.
 
−
 
 
−
First open the '''Users''' view from the menu on the left, then click [[File:Entity Management Discover domain related users outside the entity.svg|300px|link=]].
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===User Sync with Microsoft Azure AD===
 
−
To add users:
 
−
# First set up Single Sign-On via Microsoft Azure AD. You can do this in the "'''Single Sign-On'''" section of Entity Management (#7 in [[Entity_Management#Layout_and_navigation|the above image]]).
 
−
# Choose Azure AD from the drop-down menu
 
−
# Choose Sign in with Microsoft
 
−
# Login with your Microsoft Admin account
 
−
# Choose "'''Use this Azure Directory as Identity Provider'''"
 
−
# Click to confirm.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
''Your setup is complete when a Tenant Name or ID is displayed with the Azure AD application ID.''
 
−
<!--add images here-->
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
To sync Azure AD users into your myViewBoard Entity user list:
 
−
# Navigate to the "'''Users'''" section on the left side menu
 
−
# Choose "'''User Sync with Azure AD'''"
 
−
# Sign in with Microsoft Azure AD Admin account
 
−
# Choose to sync "All Users" or a "Group"
 
−
# Click "Keep Previous" to keep any previous users (deselecting this will wipe all existing users during the user sync)
 
−
# Click "Apply" to sync the users.
 
−
<!--add images here-->
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
After authorizing myViewBoard with Azure AD, you will find myViewBoard-Connect installed in the Microsoft Azure Portal. This is the service used to sync users.
 
−
 
 
−
===User Sync with Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)===
 
−
To add users:
 
−
# First set up Single Sign-On via Google G Suite. You can do this in the "'''Single Sign-On'''" section of Entity Management (#7 in [[Entity_Management#Layout_and_navigation|the above image]]).
 
−

==Managing users==
 
−
The initial account created for the entity is an Owner account. This has admin rights and cannot be changed.
 
−
For all other users, myViewBoard has two types of roles:
 
−
# User: a standard user without access to the Entity Management console.
 
−
# Admin: has access to Entity Management to change settings.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
These roles can be configured by selecting '''Users''' in the left side menu, and then clicking the drop-down menu in each user row.

===Activating software instances===
 
−
After installing Whiteboard (Windows and Android versions) the software requires activation for full features and linking with an entity. End users can activate the software instance of Whiteboard themselves after opening it for the first time, or IT managers can [[MyViewBoard_deployment|activate instances remotely]].
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
{{ent:Blue_note
 
−
|1=[[File:Warning.svg|25px|link=]] When activating instances of Whiteboard (for Windows and Android), make sure to '''use an email within your entity domain'''. This will ensure the software instance is automatically registered to that entity and will appear in Entity Management. Any user email address that is registered in the entity user list can activate the software.
 
−

====''Method 1: individually activating instances by email''====
 
−
# The end user installs the instance of Whiteboard for Windows or Android to their device ([https://myviewboard.com/download/ link to download page]).
 
−
# After opening the software for the first time, follow the prompt to ''Activate'' (as an ''end-user'' if prompted).
 
−
#:: ''If you cannot see the Activation prompt, click the user icon in the bottom right of the screen. This will open the Activation window, or the sign in window (if already activated).''
 
−
# Enter an email address to receive the activation mail. The email must be within the entity domain to be registered as belonging to that entity). Also enter a whiteboard name (instance name).
 
−
# Open the link in the email to complete the activation.

====''Method 3: MSI install script to remotely activate in batches''====
+
==== (Optional) Manually deploy Group Policy settings to clients ====
  
−
Whiteboard for Windows is installed from an MSI file. This can be installed in batches and as a background process, for example using Group Policy from Microsoft.
 
  
−
For a step-by-step guide using '''Microsoft Group Policy''', see [[MyViewBoard_deployment|Whiteboard for Windows MSI Deployment Using Group Policy]].
+
After the deployment process is complete, the group policy executes automatically according to server settings.
  
−
Alternately, use '''Command Prompt (as administrator)''' and execute the following to install to the device:
+
However, if the administrator needs to immediately verify if group policy settings are correct, perform the following:
  
−
    msiexec.exe /qn /i [name of file].msi PURPOSE="Business" ORGANIZATION="Organization name"
+
# First, launch a client under the domain.
 +
# Open Command Prompt.
 +
# Type the following command:
 +
  gpupdate /Force
