Export and import user, security, audit, and e-signature settings
Note:
The export/import feature can be used to replicate identical security, audit, and
e-signature settings across multiple computers. The feature allows you to create a
standard security, audit, and e-signature settings “image” for the QuantStudio
™
Real-Time PCR Software that can then be imported by other copies of the software to
bypass manual setup.

User overview
The Security, Audit, and Electronic Signature (SAE) module is a component of the
QuantStudio
™
Real-Time PCR Software that provides the following functionality:
• System security—Controls user access to the software.
• Auditing—Tracks changes made to library items, actions performed by users,
and changes to the Security, Audit, and Electronic Signature settings.

when performing certain functions.
Depending on the way that your administrator configures these features, you may see
the following dialog boxes and prompts when you use the software.
