PSAWEB Release – V10.0.15.0 - Special Note - Security Features for Mobile App 3.75 affected.
Please be advised additional security has been added to the PSA Mobile App users, which will require updates to PSA Web Roles. The settings for each Role which uses the Mobile App features should be reviewed, and updated as necessary. Please be aware that the Role settings will enable the functionality for both PSA Mobile App and PSA Web.
Role Settings can be adjusted on the PSA Web Settings menu. In order for your PSA Mobile App users to have the same permissions they had prior to this security update, all of the following settings should be reviewed and modified as applicable. Please note that until these settings have been updated you will receive errors when trying to sync your mobile device. DO NOT CHOOSE CLEAR ERRORS. This will delete any entries you will have made on your device. CHOOSE RETRY ERRORS.

On a separate note: An additional update this week for affected users who clock in through PSA Web, using the “Clock In” button at top right corner of PSA Web screen beside Log Out button. The default is set to Not Show Maps. Users have been receiving clock in errors indicating that the GPS location services have been enabled and to turn on GPS on your device. This has been identified to be related to the default to Not Show Maps. For users which this applies to, follow these steps, to avoid receiving an error when clocking in through PSA Web:
- Click on Clock In button, and Clock In screen will open
- Click on Toggle to Show Map
- Proceed to Clock In
We appreciate your patience, as we continue to strive to improve our PSA Products each and every day and we apologize for any inconvenience.
