Credentials prompt

Credentials prompt

Overview

The Credentials prompt is a characteristic of the In Approval content review in the Quality Management System Workflow. The credentials entry fields are only displayed for assigned reviewers

The workflow state dialog box can prompt you to confirm your identity by providing either your password or your username and password before taking part in a content review.

The Approve and Reject buttons for the content review are disabled until the reviewer adds their username and password.

The credentials are validated when the approval decision is undertaken.

There are separate content reviews in the other states in the workflow. None of these other approvals requires reviewer authentication. 

The status indicator circle is filled as the current user is assigned to the content review. 

Signing token credentials

The default authentication method for the content review in the In Approval state requires the user’s Confluence username and Confluence password. 

Global administrators can set the authentication method for reviewers to require a time-based signing token.

The credentials prompt in the workflow state dialog box for the In Approval content review in the Quality Management System workflow only displays a Token field.

The Approve and Reject buttons for the content review are active when the username and signing token are added to the workflow state dialog box.

The credentials are validated when the reviewer approves or rejects the content.

The user must set up an authentication app to generate the signing token. Each token is time-based and only valid for to 60 seconds.
