Check-in PWA: usage without log in

Hi there

First: Thanks for a great platform and app!

I have the check-in PWA working both on Android and on a browser with webcam (WPA via https://checkin.getindico.io/), and it’s super useful (with rapid mode etc). There is one issue though:

For the initial set up, I scan the QR code from Organisation/Registration/Manage Form/Tickets/QR code. This directs me to the login page for the conference system, and after log in the PWA knows the event and is authorized.

Q1: Is it possible to do this without the login step?

From the (some) docs I assumed that the QR code from the management area contains an auth token, but apparently it does not, or I’m missing a setting, or my site disallows this.

Q2: If I need a logged in user for “operating the scanner” (running the PWA), which permissions/role do they need in the conference system?

Q1: No, login is required, the QR code contains no secrets
Q2: Currently full registration management. The next release contains more a fine-grained permission that only grants checkin access
