I have a extranet that uses PIWIK to monitor visit statistics. I have enabled User ID to monitor unique visits. My question is if there a way to link this User Id in PIWIK to my user table in my extranet ?
If I understand your scenario correctly, you would need to send the User ID from your extranet to Piwik with the setUserId option discussed in the docs.
If you're using Javascript: before you track the pageview, set the user ID with:
_paq.push(['setUserId', 'USER_ID_HERE']);
When you look at the Visitor Log, you'll see the extranet user ID for any authenticated users that had the variable set.

I created a report in DataStudio and embedded it on my website. I activated the option "anyone with the link can view" so this report will be visible to my website users.
But I need to show my website users different data depending on their user ids and more important I don't want users would be able to see other users' data so if I used URL filtering users would be able to breach and search another user id to see his data.
Does anyone have a solution for this scenario?
In Google documentation I saw an option to limit the report to users in my domain, I assume this will solve this issue, but I don't find how to restrict other domains.
Users are logged onto Google
If users of your website are already logged onto Google, use the Filter by email address guide from Data Studio help center. This requires you to setup FILTER BY EMAIL and then have a field in your data can be directly used as an email filter.
Users are not logged on to Google
If you want a solution where the users don't have to be logged onto Google, you will need to:
Create a Community Connector to pass the filtered data to your users. The connector should accept a short lived token as part of the config.
Create a dashboard with your connector and pass unique short-lived tokens for each user.
You should have an endpoint that returns the current user's data based on the token provided. Alternatively, the endpoint can return only the user's identify and you can query a secondary data source with a service account filtering for the user's identity.
Your connector should call your endpoint to fetch data only for the user/for the user's identity.
This official guide demonstrates how to implement this in more details.
Disclaimer: I work in the Data Studio team and wrote the above guide.
First option is to add extra 2 fields to your data source.
User_ID
Password
For example:
Data, User_ID, Password
$10,Daniel,123
$20,Alex,456
In your dashboard, you need to create two parameters:
User_ID_Parameter
Password_Parameter
Both parameters can set the default value to null, and accepts any values.
Then create a new calculated field:
CASE
WHEN REGEXP_MATCH(User_ID,USER_ID_Parameter) AND REGEXP_MATCH(Password,Password_Parameter) THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
Then create a new filter to the chart that you want to hide:
To include the above calculated field Equal to 1
Second option is to use the Data Studio default Row Level Security
The only caveat is the users need to sign in before they can view the report.
so this is my first question here in stackoverflow, i always find the answer by looking here... so.
I have this issue, I have a Model named Company, which can have many users, which would be the "best approach" to create and activate a user account within this newly created Company.
Here is the process i am following:
Platform Admin creates a company, the company serves as a grouping account in which i will have a number of users, but i need to send an Email after company creation to the Company admin in order to have him create his account so that he can manage the other company users, this email needs to have a hash so that it has some kind of reference to the company (avoiding the company selection in the form).
Im using Rails 4.2.6 and Angular 1.5
so im stuck after the company creation form.
In an email send the angular route url which got the company hash that just created. When admin user clicks on that link your angular route gets called and then before it render the view , i mean use resolve in angularjs route, get the list of all the user and company that just got created where admin user can select user that he or she want to activate.
I'm using the ASPNET Identity tables for my MVC 5 application. Each night we perform "maintenance" on our database. If we modify something under that user, I want to inactivate their current session so that the next action they perform in the web application will kick them back to the login screen. The authentication/authorization already is built into my application using AspNet.Identity. I just need a way to wake it up by setting a flag if it exists.
For example the ASPNETUsers table has an "Inactive" column, but that's too permanent. I'm looking for the "ThisGuyIsLoggedIn" column.
This was close to the same problem, but the answer was to manage it from within MVC, which is not an option.
forcefully log out a specific user among all online users
After playing with some of the columns I realized, you can change the SecurityStamp column which will invalidate the user and cause any authentication to fail. Just don't change it to NULL.
UPDATE AspNetUsers
SET SecurityStamp = NEWID()
WHERE Id = #USER_ID
I would like to share this link, with a full description of how to force user logout.

https://github.com/shaahink/Prevent-Multiple-Login-ASPNETIdentity
If you need to reset the security stamp:
var result = await UserManager.UpdateSecurityStampAsync(user.Id);
It's very nice solution to reset user stamp from admin panel.
I have few tables like example.
Users Books UsersBookPurchase
UID BookId UserId
UName Name BookId
Password Price
Email
This is fine. I am having my own login system but i am also using some 3rd party to validate like OpenID or facebook Authetication. My question is if the user is able to log in successfully using OpenID or facebook Authentication, what steps do i need to do i.e do i have to insert one fake row in Users table because if i do not insert how will integrity be maintained. I mean what user id should i insert in UsersBookPurchase when the person who has logged in using Facebook Authentication has made a purchase because the UserId is reference key from Users table. Please give me a high level overview of what i need to do because this is fairly common scenario.
Thanks in advance :)
Basically yes. Don't think of it as a fake row. What you should do is to create an actual user account based on the data provided by Facebook API (I am not that familiar with OpenID)
Facebook API will provide you with first and last name, email address, maybe some other data
Facebook does not have the concept of login name, users login by email address.
What you do is just create a new user from the data provided by API.
There are some things to watchout for: it is possible that user is already registered on your site. When you get data from Facebook you should search your own user table to see if the email address already belongs to your own registered user and it that case you can do some fancy things like mark that user as also having a facebook login.
If I were to do that, I'd abstracted login info into a separate table and have some sort of type in the User table. The type is used to identify what auth method is used, i.e. your own, Google, etc. If a user does select using alternative methods, you do need to have association but with a different type. But yes it is a new record.
i am designing a database where users can update status messages of theirs and they can create pages groups like facebook fan page and post status like the admin of the page and not as a user.
user(id, name..)
group(id, name...)
group_admin(group_id, user_id)
this is my set up. Is this the way to do it.
How to post under the group as an admin. will i need to make a check to every user if he is the admin or not ?
well you could say that when a user posts messages on a page group, on witch they're registered as admin, then the message is posted as page group admin, otherwise it's posted as user.
