Credentials prompt
Overview
Depending on the workflow configuration, you may be required to confirm your identity by providing either your password or your username and password, before taking part in content reviews.
The workflow popup in the approval state includes a credentials prompt.
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.
This is a characteristic of the In Approval content review in the Quality Management System Workflow in Comala Document Control. The credentials entry fields are only displayed for assigned reviewers.
There are separate content reviews in each of the Draft, In Approval and Published states. None of these approvals require reviewer authentication.
The status indicator circle is filled as the current user is assigned to the content review.

The Approve and Reject buttons for the content review are active when the username and signing token are added to the workflow popup.
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 signing token is time-based and is only valid for up to 60 seconds.
