Single sign-on	No
Front-end login allowed	Yes
Web Portal login allowed	Yes
Remarks	If an employee has more than one identity, the QER \| Person \| MasterIdentity \| UseMasterForAuthentication configuration parameter controls which employee identity is used for authentication. If this configuration parameter is set, the employee’s main identity is used for authentication. If the parameter is not set, the employee’s subidentity is used for authentication. The application configuration data is used to determine a system user, which is automatically assigned to the employee. The user interface and write permissions are loaded through the system user that is dynamically assigned to the logged in employee. Changes to the data are assigned to the logged in employee.
