Article Summary

As of version 2.5, ScreenMeet requires a service-account to be set up as part of your instance configuration. In order to reduce downtime during the upgrade process, please follow these steps in the sequence provided:

1. Set up your service account

  • Create a new user named "ScreenMeet Service Account" or other desired name
  • Choose the password (you will need to enter this later in the ScreenMeet console)
  • Check off "Web service access only" to restrict regular logins as this user
  • Add the following roles to the user:
    • x_prois_sm.remote_support
    • x_prois_sm.service_account
  • Save the user
  • Ensure that the user is configured such that their password never expires to avoid service interruption

2. Enter service account info into ScreenMeet console

Make sure you are signed in with an account which has either the admin or x_prois_sm.remote_support_admin roles.

  1. Navigate to https://console.screenmeet.com/servicenow
  2. Click on "Service-Now" as the login method

You must follow the next two steps in order to restore the app functionality
