Why an Ustaz cannot mark a register until their phone is approved, and where you approve it.
One Ustaz, one phone. The first time an Ustaz signs in, their phone does not simply start working — it arrives on this page waiting for you, and until you approve it they cannot mark a single register. Not one student, not one shift.
That is the design rather than an obstacle. A register is the one thing in Sijil that says a child was here today, and it should be markable only from a phone the Mohtamim has seen once.
Where devices live
Settings → Hifazat → Devices, and the row itself tells you when something is waiting: 3 intezaar mein. Open it and the page is four bands, in the order that matters:
| Band | What is in it |
|---|---|
| Ijazat ka intezaar | Phones asking for approval. Shown only when there are some, and shown first, because it is the only thing on the page holding up somebody's work |
| Aap ka device | The phone or computer you are reading this on. It has no remove button |
| Admin ke devices | Every other place the Mohtamim is signed in |
| Ustaadon ke devices | One row per approved Ustaz phone |
Each row names the device and browser, the city it was last used from, and when — Aakhri dafa, and Login for when the session began. Every time on the page is Pakistan time, not the time on the laptop you are reading it on, so a row seen from abroad still reads as the madrasa's own clock.
Approving an Ustaz's phone
The pending band carries the Ustaz's name, their device, and Ijazat dein / Mana karein.
Approving gives something and takes something away, and the sheet says both: {name} sirf isi device se hazri laga sakenge. Un ke baaqi devices band ho jayenge. That is what one-phone-per-Ustaz means in practice — approving a new phone closes the old one in the same action, so an Ustaz who changed handsets does not end up with two live phones and neither do you.
Rejecting is not final either: Wo dobara darkhwast bhej sakte hain. An Ustaz who was refused because you did not recognise the phone can try again from the right one.
What the Ustaz sees while they wait
Their sign-in does not fail and their account is not lost — it stops on a screen telling them the device needs approval. Nothing is queued behind it: the moment you approve, the same phone signs in.
The register is not completely blocked in the meantime, and this is worth knowing on a morning when a phone is stuck. Attendance for a class can be marked from any device that is already signed in, by entering that class's Ustaz's 4-digit Hazri PIN — the mark is then credited to the Ustaz whose PIN was used, not to whoever the device belongs to. A shared madrasa phone works this way every day, and so does a colleague's. Accounts and PINs lays out which PIN is which.
Signing out is not the same as being removed
Sijil keeps these two apart on purpose, and it is the difference that decides whether an Ustaz has to queue again:
| What happened | What happens when they come back |
|---|---|
| The Ustaz signed themselves out | The same phone works again, still approved. No new request |
| You removed the device | Gone for good. They must be approved again |
| You approved a different phone for them | The old phone is closed permanently, not paused |
| You changed their phone number | Every device of theirs is closed, and the next one needs approval |
That last row catches people out. Editing an Ustaz's phone number is a security event as much as a contact edit — the phone number is half of how they sign in — so Sijil closes their sessions and the new phone comes back through this page.
Removing a device
Each row has Nikaal dein, and the sheet says what it costs: {name} is device se logout ho jayenge. Andar aane ke liye dobara ijazat leni hogi. Use it for a handset that was lost, sold, or belonged to somebody who has left.
Below the list is Baaqi sab devices nikaal dein, which logs out everything except the device you are on — Aap yahin rahenge. It is honest about the other half too: Ustaadon ko dobara device ki ijazat leni hogi — us waqt tak wo hazri nahi laga sakenge.
Admin devices work differently
The Mohtamim's own devices are approved the moment they sign in with Google. Approval exists for asatiza, whose phones are bound to attendance; the admin side is protected by Google and then by the Admin PIN instead.
Sijil does not limit how many devices an admin may be signed in on, which makes the Admin ke devices band the place to check for the laptop you stopped using, or a browser you signed in on once at somebody else's madrasa. Parents' devices need no approval either and do not appear here at all.
