App Permission Setup Walkthrough (Windows)

Welcome! This guide will walk you through setting up app permissions for Cloudica™ on Windows.

If you're using a Mac, click here for the Mac guide.

When you launch the app for the first time after installation, it will guide you through a short permission setup process. This ensures the app can collect the necessary data while you're logged in and working.

Here’s what to expect, step by step:

1. Location Access

The app will first request access to your location.

This helps verify your identity and ensures secure tracking.

2. Camera Access

Next, the app will ask to use your camera.

Click Next, and the app will take your photo.

Make sure you're centered in the frame for the best snapshot.

3. Microphone Access

The app will then check your microphone to help monitor idle time.

Click Next, and the app will listen briefly for sound activity.

4. Screen Recording

The app takes screenshots every minute and when you switch applications.

This helps track your work activities accurately.

5. Keyboard and Mouse Monitoring

You’ll be asked to grant access to your keyboard and mouse.

This allows the app to detect keystrokes and monitor user activity.

6. Automation Approval

This permission lets the app monitor the applications and websites you access.

It ensures detailed tracking of your daily workflow.

7. Disk Access

Finally, the app will request access to your disk.

This lets it save your activity data locally if your internet connection drops.

After Granting Permissions

Once you’ve completed the permission steps:

Log in to the app.
Go to your web dashboard to get your authentication code (you’ll find it in the banner at the top of the page).
Enter this code in the Cloudica™ app.
You’re all set! Monitoring will now begin.
