How does this restriction work?


Using this type of access restriction, you will make sure that employees will be able to sign in only from a particular device, such as a computer at the front desk.


When trying to sign in from an unauthorised device (e.g. a personal computer or a smartphone), an employee will be able to submit a request for device authorisation. The request will be sent to the administrator via email including the requestor and the device details. The administrator will be able to authorise the device by clicking a button within the email message.


What should I pay attention to?


In order to restrict access to a particular device, the information on this device is saved in the browser memory. If the browser memory is cleared, the device needs to be re-authorised. Otherwise access to Versum will not be possible on the device.
