What it is
Section titled “What it is”A device is a laptop or workstation running the Scenery runner. Pairing connects it to a signed-in user. Every device, new or existing, is paired, either with a pairing code or by signing in from the device.
Why it exists
Section titled “Why it exists”Pairing is how Scenery knows a device belongs to a real, signed-in person. A device that is not paired gets no tools.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- The employee installs the runner.
- In the portal, they get a pairing code. The portal shows it under My Devices > Add a new device (the home page’s Pair a device button takes them there).
- They run
scenery auth pair <code>.
A new computer can also join with scenery auth login, which signs in through the browser.
Installs belong to the device
Section titled “Installs belong to the device”An install puts a tool in one device’s configuration. Installing a tool on a second device adds it to that device only, and removing it from one device leaves the others alone. An employee with more than one device picks the target device when they install. An admin can remove a tool from a lost laptop without cutting the employee off from their other devices.
Revoking a device
Section titled “Revoking a device”Revoking a device is permanent for that device record. There is no restore. The employee brings the machine back by running scenery auth pair again, which registers it as a new device.
What an admin sees
Section titled “What an admin sees”Devices in the admin navigation lists devices and their status, such as active, offline or stale, and shows what is installed on each. A device’s page has Revoke Device. Employees see their own on My Devices.
