Application Users

In Unwired Platform, an application user is an identity registered as the user of one or more versions of a device application. An application user can have multiple devices, but a single user accessing two different applications counts as two application users.

When a user is on-boarded the identity becomes visible and manageable in Sybase Control Center. The process varies, depending on the application type, the registration type, and the version of the client runtime:

For native applications using client runtime version 2.1.2 or later (for Android, version 2.1.1 or later), an application user is automatically registered when user credentials are accepted in the client application.
For manually registered native applications using client runtime version 2.1.2 or later (for Android, version 2.1.1 or later), an application user is registered when the application connection is registered in SCC.
For native applications using client runtime versions earlier than 2.1.2 (except Android), an application user is automatically registered upon first successful package authentication.
For native messaging applications using client runtime versions earlier than 2.1.1, an application user is automatically registered upon first successful subscription after manual registration (activation).
For Workflow container or Online Data proxy applications using SUP 2.1 or later versions of container or client runtime, the application user is registered upon application connection registration in SCC (manual) or upon successful registration by the user using the client application (automatic).

Once registered and onboarded, the platform administrator can view the user name and security configuration that authenticates the user. In addition, the administrator can remove nonexistent users.
