10. Option 3 – Administration login with the 3rd party login or WP users base integration

If you wish to connect your usersbase to the chat then you will use our SDK or our WordPress plugin. This lets your users once they are logged in to your site, to automatically login to the chat service. The Rumbletalk chat inherits the user credentials (note, we only store the user name at our end).

  1. First, create the exact same admin user name in the RumbleTalk user area as defined in your system. For example if your login name is ALAN, you should create the same admin name ALAN in RumbleTalk.
  2. Once you logged in to your website.
  3. Open the chat page (the page should be located on the same website).
  4. The system will try to log you in, find out that the name is associated with a password and ask you to type the admin password. **note, in the same browser you will not be ask again to log in.
  5. You are in!
