Integration with GoFileRoom

Set up GoFileRoom service accounts

Setting up service accounts in GoFileRoom (GFR) provides SurePrep a set of robust credentials for communicating with GFR. These credentials can be used for downloading submitted documents, advancing the routing, and uploading the DreamWorkpaper/SPbinder PDF files. The service accounts ensure that processes don’t go into error due to permission failures related to the original user’s account.
An example of a common problem that occurs when there's not a service account is when temporary staff creates the documents in GFR. When the staff member departs, their GFR accounts are closed. The unintended outcome, however, is that all SurePrep interactions that used those credentials will fail. Setting up a service account fixes this and many other credential-related problems.
Follow these steps to set up service accounts in GoFileRoom:
  1. To assign a Super User, you'll need to create a new group or use an already created group.
  2. Create a new user. On the top navigation menu, select the
    Administration
     dropdown then select
    Manage Users & Groups
    .
    Select Manage Users & Groups from Administration
  3. On the
    Users
     tab, select
    ---New User---
    from the
    Select User
     dropdown and mark the
    Active
     checkbox.
    note
    You can also use an existing user. However, the user must be provided elevated rights and must not be disabled in the near future.
