This section focuses on how the End User will use Layton ServiceDesk to log and monitor their own Requests. If End Users are not to be given access to the system, then the '''[[Layton ServiceDesk - Settings - Form Design - Login|Login page can be modified]]''' to remove End User login and Registration links.
  
Layton ServiceDesk also has an NTLM Auto Logon (Single Sign On) feature which can authenticate with the current logged on user and automatically log them into their home screen without having to enter their username and password each time.

Layton ServiceDesk also offers '''[[NTLM (Auto) Login|NTLM Auto Logon (single sign-on)]]''' which will authenticate by the currently logged in domain username and automatically log them into the ServiceDesk without having to enter their credentials.  
  
The end user to auto-login you need to run the following URL:
+
=Login=
 +
[[File:Lsd logon.png|frame|center|link=|The default Layton ServiceDesk login page]]
  
http://servername/laytonservicedesk/euserauto.aspx (where server name is your server name)
 
  
For the analyst auto login URL is as follows:

Click the ''Login End User'' button and enter the End User name and password.
  
http://servername/laytonservicedesk/userauto.aspx
+
=End User Self-Registration=
 +
If you are using the system for the first time and the ''Register End User'' option is displayed, you can immediately register as a user by selecting that button. Complete the registration details as defined and click the ''Save'' button [[File:Lsd btn save.png|link=]].
  
The user can either save the URL to their favourites, change the path in the Layton ServiceDesk. When the user then selects the link to Layton ServiceDesk, it will no longer prompt them for their user name or password and automatically log them in.
 
  
Another alternative option, you can even create a hyperlink on the main login screen that the user can click. This could be a icon or text named Auto-Login for example. When the user lands on the login screen, rather than having to type in their user name or password they can just click the auto-login text/icon and it will auto-log the user into Layton ServiceDesk.
