If a user belongs to several roles and each of these roles has its own supervisor, the user can receive confirmation to access export or authorization from a single administrator. Info title Note For example, a user can belong to several roles at the same time: Operator 1, Operator 2, Operator 3. Each of these roles has its own supervisor: For Operator 1, the supervisor is Admin 1. For Operator 2, the supervisor is Admin 2. For Operator 3, the supervisor is Admin 3. The user needs to receive confirmation from only one of the three administrators. If a user belongs to a regular role (such as Operator) and an administrator role at the same time, supervisor confirmation isn't required, provided that the administrator role can be used as supervisor. Info title Note For example, a user belongs to the Operator 1 and Admin 1 roles at the same time. If Admin 1 is selected as supervisor in the Supervisor confirmation settings, the user doesn't need to receive confirmation to access export or authorization.
