Your Technicians can receive notifications of user privilege requests on their computer by enabling browser based notifications for the Admin Portal (https://msp.autoelevate.com ). Notifications from the browser service can also be configured to appear in the Windows 10 notification area so that you won’t need to keep your Admin portal open but would only need to have a browser open (so that the notification service is running) to be notified.
To enable notifications in your browsers
To enable notifications in Windows 10
Google Chrome
In Chrome you would click on the "lock" in the top left of the browser. The lock next to the Left of the URL address. That should allow you to Allow/Block the notifications and a couple other settings.
To ‘reset’ it if it is already set to Allow. Set it to block, refresh and then do it again and set to 'allow' and refresh. This should enable notifications from the browser service.
Microsoft Edge
In Edge you would click on the "lock" in the top left of the browser. The lock next to the Left of the URL address then click “Site permissions” to open the screen containing the various permission settings.
Scroll down in the list to “Notifications” and change the down-down menu choice to “Allow”
Mozilla Firefox
In Firefox after logging into the Admin portal you should see an icon in the top left of the browser to the left of the URL address which looks like a chat icon and be given the ability to select “Allow Notifications”.
If this has already been set to ‘Never Allow’ you can change the setting in Firefox by clicking the ‘Hamburger’ menu on the right-hand side of the screen and then from the menu selecting “Options”
Click on “Privacy & Security” and then scroll down in the list to “Permissions” and click the “Settings” button next to ‘Notifications’
Find the Admin Portal address in the list and set the status drop-down to “Allow” and then “Save Changed”
Windows notifications
To have the browser notifications show up in the Windows notification area you would first need to allow it in your browser and then would need to enable it in Windows by doing the following:
-
In Windows go to Settings->System->Notifications & Actions
-
Toggle the “Get notifications from apps and other senders” to “ON”
-
Scroll down through the list and make sure the browser that you have authenticated in AutoElevate and enabled notifications for (in this case Chrome) is toggled to “ON”
-
Click on the browser in the list and set the “Show notification banners” and “Show notifications in action center” to on by checking the boxes. You may also set the other notification settings based on your preferences here.
