Login
The Login widget allows users to log in or create an account, then update their personal information and take advantage of pre-filled forms available in several widgets.
- Widget forms will be pre-filled for authenticated users, creating a personalized experience and allowing for quick action.
- Widget forms can be pre-filled for any family member of an authenticated user.
- Some Widgets require users to log in.
- The Login Widget takes advantage of the established "OAuth" Login flow used by other MinistryPlatform applications.
Note: This includes the Platform, Batch Manager Tool, Need Connect, Widgets, and any customization or third parties leveraging this shared authentication. It does not include the Portal.
- Once authenticated, the Login menu allows a user to navigate to their User Account and add or update their information.
Note: When a User creates an account, Contact, Household, and User records will be created for them.
- If the authenticated user has a photo attached to their Contact record it will be displayed while logged in. An authenticated user may upload a new photo from their User Account.
- All Social Logins (Identity Providers) configured for use with existing MinistryPlatform applications will be available.
Note: When a new user completes the Sign-Up process, a Contact and User record are created. A Household record is not created.
Tip: To create a Household record for a new Contact created through this process, use the Add/Edit Family tool and fill in the missing info.
