Enable a user authentication requirement to control upload access to Portals
You can control who can access a MASV Portal by enabling the “Require user authentication” setting. When enabled, users must sign in to their MASV account and meet the authentication requirements before they can upload files to the Portal. For example, the user must…
- Belong to the Team.
- Have permission according to their role (Owner, Admin, Member, Guest).
- Be a member of the corresponding Teamspace (if applicable).
Whichever authentication method is used for the Team, will be enforced for the Portal (email and password, Google, SSO (single sign-on), API key in the case of an integration, and any MFA requirements).
User authentication is an alternative to setting an upload password for a Portal. For more information about Upload Passwords, see How to create, edit, or delete a Portal.
Note: User authentication for uploads to MASV Portals is available to customers who are using SSO or other Team authentication methods with MASV. For information about enabling this feature, please contact support@masv.io. The Security tab does not display Require user authentication for uploads if the feature in not enabled.
To require user authentication for Portal upload access
-
In the MASV Web App, as an Owner or Admin (role), select Request Files with Portals from the sidebar on the left.
-
Select the Portal you want to protect, and in the Actions column, select the Actions icon ⋮ , and select Edit from the drop-down menu.
-
On the Edit Portal page, select the Security tab.
-
If you are using Teamspaces to limit access to a specific group of users, in the Assign Teamspace box, select the Teamspace from the list.
-
In the Upload Security area, select Require user authentication.
-
Select the Save button in the lower-right corner to apply the changes.
When users receive an email or link with a request to upload files, they will now need to sign in to MASV to authenticate before they can access the Portal.
