Enabling and Disabling Secure Mode
Only users with Administrator-level access can enable or disable Secure
Mode. Enabling or disabling Secure Mode requires that you close all
documents and restart the application.
When Secure Mode is enabled, the status bar displays the locked symbol.

To enable Secure Mode, go to the Tools menu and select Preferences. In the
Preferences dialog, select the Enable Secure Mode checkbox to enable
Secure Mode, or deselect the checkbox to disable it.
If your user name and password are set up on a Windows network server,
enter the network domain where they reside in the Domain to Be Used for
Authentication field. Contact your Windows system administrator if you are
unsure of your domain.
NOTE: Local groups can be set up on the local machine and authenticated
using domain users. Click the box to use local user groups for establishing
user security levels.
When you click OK, you are prompted to sign in as an Administrator-level user
to authenticate the change. You then need to restart the software.
User Authentication
Bio-Plex Manager Security Edition requires user authentication (entering a
user name and password) at key points during operation. User authentication
creates an electronic audit trail of user activity that cannot be altered or
deleted.
