| + | ===== Secondary Authorisation ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If enabled, some features of Mystic may require secondary authentication in addition to the authentication made when first logging in to the application: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Security Authorisation ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Security Authorisations are required when additional security has been enabled on a particular feature of Mystic, such as the User Manager or Lookup Manager. In this case, when selecting the function Mystic will ask for the current user's login name and password a second time to ensure that the workstation has not simply been left unattended. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Authorisation Overrides ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If a user attempts to perform an operation and it is refused (e.g. trying to issue an item which breaches current rules, such as too many items), it is sometimes possible to override the restriction. In this case, Mystic will ask for the username and password of a suitably authorised administrative users to allow the operation to proceed. | ||
