Creating a Virtual user signin for app.

[KenPollard]

I am working on an app, they want the initial login into the app to be a business user group, which makes a requirement for the individual users to continually select their name each time the crate a new inspection. 

Was wondering if there was a way for Appsheet to have a Virtual user sign in after the initial log in? So each time they create a new inspection, the virtual user is shown in the USERID, instead of the app signed in group account user. 

Not sure if it is possible, since I barely understand how Appsheet works in the first place, but if there's anyone who would understand, or have any idea how to do it,  I am sure they would be here. Thanks in advance .

Assuming that you're NOT trying to avoid paying for more users: Please don't set up any kind of "login" system where the users need their own password. People often re-use passwords, and their password won't be secured in any such system you can build on an Appsheet app. Just have a simple user selection in the settings that auto-fills all other records via Initial Value.

If you ARE trying to avoid paying for more users... don't do that.

Not trying to avoid licensing, the organization has more than enough licensing. Pretty sure Appsheet licensing is just a small budget line in the annual budget 🙂 .  Just trying to work around Corporate security measures that restrict individual sign in on a user group sign in. No passwords required, just want to address the request to not have to select their name/Re enter their name every time they do another inspection. Thanks for the info, I will have to look it over and try to figure it all out and see how to implement it into the (Il)logic of the current app design.
