Skip Secondary Authorization for Users with Relevant Permissions

Stay is enhanced to allow users with relevant permissions to perform transactions in Stay without authenticating themselves when the Single Sign On (SSO) login method is enabled for a user.

Previously, when SSO-enabled users perform the following transactions throughout the application, secondary authentication was required to complete the transaction. Through this enhancement, users with the relevant permissions can complete the transaction without requiring secondary authorization.
