Logging in Using a Mobile Access Code

You can log in to the ServiceChannel Mobile app via our mobile access code system. The system is designed especially for those clients who have the web single sign-on setup with ServiceChannel.

Whether or not you can generate a mobile access code depends on your company account settings. Check with your admin first to find out if you can take advantage of mobile access codes.

Generating a Mobile Access Code

Your admin specifies what type of employees can use mobile access codes to sign in to the ServiceChannel Mobile app:

  • All users (both corporate and dashboard users)
  • All users excluding dashboard users
  • No users

Find more info on mobile access code settings in Configuring Mobile Apps Settings.

    Log in to Service Automation, click your company name in the upper-right corner, and hit Mobile Access Code. A new browser tab opens.Menu section for generating a mobile access code in Service Automation

Disabling a Mobile Access Code

You can disable the mobile access code for one connected device or all devices at once. To do that, you need to go back to Service Automation or your dashboard — based on whether you are a corporate or dashboard user.

    Click your company name in the upper-right corner of Service Automation, and hit Mobile Access Code. A new browser tab opens.

  2. In the Mobile Access Code overlay, select whether you want to disable the mobile access code for a single device or all devices.

    • Single device. Click Remove Access to the right of the device for which you want to disable the mobile access code. The device gets unlinked, but the code remains active. You or your colleagues can still use it to access the ServiceChannel Mobile app using a mobile access code.
    • All devices. Hit Remove All Mobile Access to remove the mobile access code for all devices. No one can use this code anymore. Next time you want to log in via SSO, you need to generate a new code. See How to Generate a Mobile Access Code.
