Authentication and authorization

NiceLabel Label Cloud transfers user identification to external authentication providers who let the users log in using their existing login credentials. Once the users are identified, the Label Cloud’s authorization process grants these users access to certain parts of the software as configured in the Access Roles.

There are two types of authentication available with NiceLabel Label Cloud products:

• Microsoft account. This is Microsoft cloud-based directory and identity management service. If you use Office 365, you are already using this service. If you have an on-premise Active Directory set up, there are chances you are already synchronizing your Active Directory to the cloud – Microsoft Azure Active Directory (AAD). Typically, you would use the Microsoft account and AAD for corporate users who are members of your organization. NiceLabel Label Cloud Business edition and above support integration with corporate user directories.

You can also use the personal Microsoft accounts with the Label Cloud if your company does not have the Office 365 / Azure Active Directory set up. The users are not integrated with the Label Cloud account out-of-the-box (as are when using Office 365 / Azure Active Directory), but you can invite them separately and assign them with a specific role in a system.

• Google Sign-in. This is Google’s authentication system enabling users to log in with their Google accounts. Typically, you would use this authentication type for external users. These are users that are not members of your organization and are not subject to your company’s access policy. Google authentication is useful if you use Web Applications to extend label printing to contract manufacturers, third-party logistic partners, and suppliers. These users can log in using the same credentials as they use for their Gmail accounts.

Google users can be also assigned with another role inside the Label Cloud’s Document Management System and are not limited to the Web printing role only.

Analytics can show you various metrics regarding printing activity, such as:

• How many print actions for a particular label file
• How many labels each printer has printed
• Summary of printer group activity
• How many labels each user has printed
• Which computers or applications/solutions have printed which labels

A Centralised storage within the dashboard interface for easy access to files:

• Keeps a detailed account of your files
• Familiar layout
• Key information of each file, date created, modification dates and users. 
• Key File logs
