# GuruConnect Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
## Design Principles
|
||||
|
||||
1. **End-user simplicity** - One-click or code-based session joining
|
||||
2. **Standalone capable** - Works independently, integrates with GuruRMM optionally
|
||||
3. **Technician-centric** - Built for MSP workflows
|
||||
|

|
||||
## End-User Portal (connect.azcomputerguru.com)
|
||||
|
||||
### Unauthenticated View
|
||||
|
||||
When a user visits the portal without being logged in:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ [Company Logo] │
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ Enter your support code: │
|
||||
│ ┌─────────────────────────┐ │
|
||||
│ │ 8 4 7 2 9 1 │ │
|
||||
│ └─────────────────────────┘ │
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ [ Connect ] │
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ ───────────────────────────────────────────────── │
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ Instructions will appear here after clicking │
|
||||
│ Connect, based on your browser. │
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Connection Flow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **User enters code** → Click "Connect"
|
||||
2. **Server validates code** → Returns session info or error
|
||||
3. **Attempt app launch** via custom protocol:
|
||||
- `guruconnect://session/{code}`
|
||||
- If app is installed, it launches and connects
|
||||
4. **If app doesn't launch** (timeout ~3 seconds):
|
||||
- Auto-download small EXE (`GuruConnect-{code}.exe`)
|
||||
- Show browser-specific instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Browser-Specific Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
Detect browser via User-Agent and show appropriate guidance:
|
||||
|
||||
**Chrome:**
|
||||
> "Click the download in the bottom-left corner of your screen, then click 'Open'"
|
||||
> [Screenshot of Chrome download bar]
|
||||
|
||||
**Firefox:**
|
||||
> "Click 'Save File', then open your Downloads folder and double-click the file"
|
||||
> [Screenshot of Firefox download dialog]
|
||||
|
||||
**Edge:**
|
||||
> "Click 'Open file' in the download notification at the top of your screen"
|
||||
> [Screenshot of Edge download prompt]
|
||||
|
||||
**Safari:**
|
||||
> "Click the download icon in the toolbar, then double-click the file"
|
||||
> [Screenshot of Safari downloads]
|
||||
|
||||
**Generic/Unknown:**
|
||||
> "Your download should start automatically. Look for the file in your Downloads folder and double-click to run it."
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Protocol Handler
|
||||
|
||||
**Protocol:** `guruconnect://`
|
||||
|
||||
**Format:** `guruconnect://session/{code}`
|
||||
|
||||
**Registration:**
|
||||
- Permanent agent registers protocol handler on install
|
||||
- One-time agent does NOT register (to avoid clutter)
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior:**
|
||||
- If registered: OS launches installed agent with session code
|
||||
- If not registered: Browser shows "nothing happened" → triggers download fallback
|
||||
|
||||
### One-Time Session Agent (Temp/Support)
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Requirements:**
|
||||
- Runs in **user space** - NO admin elevation required
|
||||
- Downloads as `GuruConnect-{code}.exe` (code baked in)
|
||||
- ~3-5MB executable
|
||||
- Self-contained (no installer, no dependencies)
|
||||
- Connects directly to session on launch
|
||||
- Self-deletes after session ends (or on next reboot)
|
||||
|
||||
**Elevation Note:**
|
||||
- Basic screen sharing works without admin
|
||||
- Some features (input to elevated windows, UAC dialogs) need admin
|
||||
- Show optional "Run as Administrator" button for full access
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Technician Dashboard (Logged-In View)
|
||||
|
||||

## Session Types
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Support Sessions (Attended/One-Time)
|
||||
|
||||
**End-User Experience:**
|
||||
- User visits portal (e.g., `support.azcomputerguru.com`)
|
||||
- Portal generates a 5-6 digit numeric code (e.g., `847291`)
|
||||
- User enters code OR clicks generated link
|
||||
- Small executable downloads and runs (no install required)
|
||||
- Session connects to assigned technician
|
||||
|
||||
**Technician Experience:**
|
||||
- Generate session codes from dashboard
|
||||
- Codes can be pre-assigned to specific tech or first-come
|
||||
- Session appears on assigned tech's dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
**Code Management:**
|
||||
- Codes remain active until used (no automatic expiration)
|
||||
- Anti-collision: Active codes tracked in database, never reissued while active
|
||||
- Once session completes, code is released back to pool
|
||||
- Manual code cancellation available
|
||||
- Optional: Tech can set manual expiration if desired
|
||||
- 6 digits = 1M codes, plenty of headroom for concurrent active codes
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Unattended Sessions (Permanent/MSP)
|
||||
|
||||
**Installer Builder:**
|
||||
|
||||
Build custom installers with pre-defined metadata fields:
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Description | Example |
|
||||
|-------|-------------|---------|
|
||||
| Name | Machine identifier | "Use Machine Name" (auto) or custom |
|
||||
| Company | Client/organization | "Glaztech Industries" |
|
||||
| Site | Physical location | "Phoenix Office" |
|
||||
| Department | Business unit | "Accounting" |
|
||||
| Device Type | Machine category | "Workstation", "Server", "Laptop" |
|
||||
| Tag | Custom label | "VIP", "Critical", "Testing" |
|
||||
|
||||
**Installer Output Options:**
|
||||
- Download EXE directly
|
||||
- Download MSI (for GPO deployment)
|
||||
- Copy installer URL (for deployment scripts)
|
||||
- Send link via email
|
||||
|
||||
**Server-Built Installers:**
|
||||
- Server generates installers on-demand
|
||||
- All metadata (Company, Site, etc.) baked into binary
|
||||
- Unique installer per configuration
|
||||
- No manual config file editing required
|
||||
- Server URL and auth token embedded
|
||||
|
||||
**MSI Support:**
|
||||
- MSI wrapper for Group Policy deployment
|
||||
- Silent install support: `msiexec /i guruconnect.msi /qn`
|
||||
- Uninstall via Add/Remove Programs or GPO
|
||||
- Transform files (.mst) for custom configurations (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
**End-User Reconfiguration:**
|
||||
- Re-run installer with flags to modify settings
|
||||
- `--reconfigure` flag enters config mode instead of reinstall
|
||||
- User can change: Name, Site, Tag, Department
|
||||
- Changes sync to server on next check-in
|
||||
- Useful for when machine moves to different site/department
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
```
|
||||
guruconnect-agent.exe --reconfigure --site "New York Office" --tag "Laptop"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Deployment:**
|
||||
- Installed as Windows service
|
||||
- Persists across reboots
|
||||
- Auto-reconnects on network changes
|
||||
- Can be bundled with GuruRMM agent OR standalone
|
||||
- Metadata fields baked into agent at build time
|
||||
|
||||
**Management:**
|
||||
- Assigned to client/site hierarchy
|
||||
- Always available for remote access (when machine is on)
|
||||
- Background service, no user interaction required
|
||||
