From Security Settings, a password can be defined by the user and each operation/s can be selected to be password protected.

You can reach Security Settings tab from Tools > Options > Security .

On the figure shown above, security is enabled and some operations are password protected. The password should be typed, when the user wants to perform these secured operations.

As an example for Change Mode operation , if you want to change the operating mode of Ingest, a window appears as it seen below.

The user can use this password “Only for this operation” (Change Mode) or “Unlock security for this session”.

If the user chooses Unlock security for this session option, the security for the operation can be reactivated by pressing Activate button on the Security settings. Otherwise, users can perform these operations without any password entry until exiting Metus Ingest.
