Customer can deploy team-tokens during the installations as installation parameters or manually by the source-computer users by default. Optional method is to upload the list of source-computer user emails with the desired Process Intelligence team. In such case the functionality is as follows: (1) Agent connects to the Process Intelligence Cloud, (2) It checks if a new team-token is available with that email, (3) New team-token is assigned to that computer, (4) Data-collection starts for that team, (5) Email is not used anymore or linked to the collected data and can be removed from the Admin panel after a successful deployment.
Process Intelligence Agent has auto-update capabilities. The different versions of the software are hosted on our cloud with a restricted access policy. The updater tool checks that the software is signed with the Process Intelligence digital certificate prior to software installation. Auto-updates can be also disabled by the customer.
