The Photo Survey application allows users to sign in with social media credentials (Twitter, Facebook, and Google+) and track the status of problems or observations they have reported.

To fully enable social media authentication, you must establish a connection between your application and your organization's Facebook and Google+ accounts. In addition, you must configure a valid surveyor in the Photo Survey application to store the user name associated with the users social media account.

Configure Facebook credentials

Complete the following steps to set up a connection between your Photo Survey application and your organization's (or personal) Facebook account:

1. If you do not have a Facebook account for your organization, create a new one.
2. Sign in to Facebook, then open the Facebook Developers page.
3. Click My Apps. If this is your first time registering a Facebook app, you will need to register as a developer by accepting the terms and conditions before continuing, otherwise click Add a New App.
