Step 4: At the people screen of 'Deel', use the Chrome extension to capture the people list.

Step 5: Open the extension. It'll automatically detect the new domain. Review it, add it as a custom app, and click save.

Capturing User Access

Step 6: Start capturing the list of user access from 'Deal'. The capturing process is based on the image capturing, using Swif IQ to process the data. This might take some time.

Step 7: After processing, review the detected new accounts and user information before publishing access for these users.

Image

Step 8: Select all captured user access and save. Wait for the saving process to complete.

Managing User Access

Step 9: After saving, the list of user accesses will be added to your Swif access management.

Image

Step 10: Recapture to import more user accesses to Swif if needed. Note that existing user accesses in Swif will be skipped during the recapturing.

Image

Step 11: Review the captured information before adding them to your Swif access management. Update the role of specific users before publishing access for them if necessary.

Image

Step 12: After public access is complete, new user access will be added to your access management.

Image

Step 13: Manage all your user access per application in the Applications tab and review user access per user from the Users tab with Activate and Deactivate options.

And that's it! You're now equipped to use the Swif Chrome extension effectively.
