Each user logs into Bria with the email address and password setup earlier. The Bria platform automatically passes the Simtex username/password as well as other configuration items to the Bria software. No other configuration is needed for the Bria software.
You can login to multiple apps or devices simultaneously, ie desktop, and iOS. Please contact Simtex Support to ensure you have multiple device support enabled.
