      How to Deploy Without Creating Anonymous Users

      Learn how to deploy the Produce8 Agent via RMM in a way that links data directly to users and prevents anonymous profiles from being created.

      Step-by-Step Instructions

      1. Install the Desktop App via RMM (optional)

      The desktop app is not required for all deployments but can be installed alongside the Agent for convenience. 

      2. Install the New Browser Plugin via RMM

      Deploy the Produce8 browser extension to ensure browser-based activities are captured. 

      3. Install the Produce8 Agent via RMM

      • Important: Do not include the accountId parameter during deployment. 
      • This ensures the Agent installs correctly without auto-assigning it to an anonymous user.

      4. Activate the Agent for the Logged-In User

      After installation, have the user log in to Produce8 in one of two ways:

      • Option 1: Open the Produce8 web app and log in with your existing Produce8 credentials. 
      • Option 2: Log into the Desktop App using your existing Produce8 credentials.

      Logging in through either method automatically activates the Agent for that user. 

      5. Confirm Agent Activation 

      Once logged in, you'll see a banner at the top of the page indicating:
      "The Produce8 Desktop Agent is running but has no user identified—do you want to activate data collection for you?"

      Click Activate My Agent to complete setup. 

      6. Allow Time for Data to Sync

      It can take up to 15 minutes for activity data to begin appearing in the Produce8 dashboard after activation.
