** Use two-factor authentication with time-based one-time password (TOTP) algorithm. When this option is enabled, a QR code is displayed that needs to be scanned by a TOTP generator (e.g. FreeOTP or Google Authenticator). The Allegro Network Multimeter and the TOTP generator will generate a one-time password independently which needs to be given at login. Both devices needs to be time synchronized (e.g. via NTP).

Beginning with firmware 3.5 roles can be created or deleted (except for the '''admin''' role). A role may have several permissions. Permissions are categorized in live view, replay view and 4-eyes authorization. For each category there is a list of permissions that are granted by this role. E.g. if only the permission 'pcap' is selected in live view, the role only allows performing capturing in the corresponding view.

*'''restart-analysis''': Users can restart already running ring buffer analyses, for example with different start and end time parameters. This is useful if the '''admin''' user wants to select which and when a ring buffer should be analyzed but still letting '''replay-user'''s to restart the analysis in case they want use a smaller time interval for faster/more detailed analysis.

*'''api-pcap-4-eyes-authorization''': This role requires an authorization for performing a PCAP from another user with the '''pcap''' permission in any of the three categories. In the PCAP dialog a dropdown field is displayed where the user needs to select the other user who should grant the capture. The other user will get a popup dialog for granting or denying the PCAP download.

*'''api-voip-4-eyes-authorization''': This role requires an authorization for accessing SIP or RTP statistics pages from another user with the '''sip''' or '''rtp''' (before the version 4.1 this was the voip permission) permissions in an category. On the page that requires authorization an indicator is displayed where the user needs to select the other user who should grant access to that page. The other user will get a popup dialog for granting or denying the access.

These roles can be combined. For example, a user with the '''replay-user''' and '''capture''' role can only see replay data and can capture traffic from this data, but they cannot capture live data.
