     23== Assigning security keys to users ==
     24
     25 1. To assign a !WebAuthn security to a user, the BASE administrator should
     26    locate that user in the '''Administrate->Users''' list and open the edit dialog.
     27 2. Switch to the '''!WebAuthn''' tab. This should state that no security key is enabled for
     28    the account.
     29 3. Insert the security key into an USB port and click on the '''Register''' button.
     30 4. Press the button on the security for verification.
     31 4. If the registration is successful the dialog should switch to reflect the
     32    fact that the account is now !WebAuthn-enabled. Take out the key and
     33    enter the serial number into the '''Serial #''' field (optional). Save!

     38Click on the '''Remove''' in the '''!WebAuthn''' tab in the '''Edit user''' dialog. Save!

     40== Notes! ==
     41
     42 1. It is possible to assign the same security key to more than one user account. This might be
     43    practical for persons that have one regular account for daily usage and one account for
     44    administrative needs.
     45 2. The administrator may allow other authentication methods.
