About this scenario
This scenario simulates common workflows for authenticator administration:
It uses a demo site designed for a technical audience to learn how the technology can be used in a realistic scenario.

You must have completed the user login workflow and have signed in as administrative user (see Use case scenario: User login).
Walkthrough: Authenticator administration
To query the available authenticators
- Sign in to the OneSpan Cloud Authentication Technical Evaluation website as a registered administrative user (see Use case scenario: User login).
- Switch to the Admin Board page.
- Switch to the Authenticator Actions > Query Authenticators tab.

(OPTIONAL) Add further query fields to refine the search results.
If you do not add any query fields, the query lists all existing authenticators.
For instance, to retrieve only authenticators that are not yet assigned to a user, select assigned in the Add additional fields list and click +. Then select false as the Assignment Status.
