  2. Only the global password should be used to access report exports in e-mail notifications for scheduled report generation even if you have enabled the user password option.

3. Provision to Control the Exposure of Personal Data in Reports

Key Manager Plus includes provisions to control the extent to which personal data is exposed in canned reports.

4. Provision to Manage Non-user Email Addresses

Key Manager Plus allows administrators to configure email notifications about the completion of scheduled tasks, license expiration and other important operations to users who do not have an individual account with Key Manager Plus.
