Note that Control Center SSO users will be able to log in to Control Center and use the App Switcher to log in to Aware. Control Center SSO users will not be able to directly log into Aware at this time.
Aware Alta Video users without validated email addresses & without a corresponding user in the Control CenterAlta Access - If a user exists in the Control CenterAlta Access, we will combine their identity and their Control Center Alta Access password to be used everywhere.
