Setting up windows endpoint for Presence Detection
Updated over 2 weeks ago

Oloid's Presence Detection is a security feature that tracks user presence at specific Windows endpoints, ensuring security and access control. It offers real-time desktop alerts to users and notifies admins of security-related events, allowing for effective monitoring and access control at each endpoint.

To enable Presence Detection, your Windows system must be configured from the Oloid Portal to support the Windows Lock functionality.

Installation and Configuration

The Windows Login app is installed and configured in the device using the Supervisor app.

  • Download and Install the Supervisor App

  • Configure the Supervisor App

  • Pair using the auto-config option, if auto-config fails use the manual pairing option

For details see, Setting up and using Supervisor App guide.

Platform Configuration

For an end-user to use the Windows Login app, the Tenant Admin must perform the following configuration in the Oloid Platform.

Monitoring Presence Detection

When a violation is detected, the Windows screen locks, disabling all interactions except for specific buttons displayed on the blocked screen. Alerts notify tenant admin/supervisors of the detected events, allowing them to take appropriate actions.

The tenant admin/supervisor can track user's activity and take appropriate actions using the following options in Oloid Portal.

  • Using Transactions tab

  • Using Windows Alert tab

For detailed instructions, refer How to unblock a user's blocked screen
