Learning outcomes

After this chapter, you should be able to:

  1. Keep the two security keys attached to the two nurses who declined phone apps.
  2. Refuse both an automatic third key and an unapproved app for a new starter.
  3. Require Dr. Moss's written choice of method before that person uses the account.

14.1 A reason does not travel with the hardware

The clinic bought two security keys because two nurses did not want work applications on their own phones. That sentence has subjects: those nurses, that refusal, those keys. A new receptionist starting Monday asks to approve sign-ins with an app on a personal phone. The nurses' refusal does not answer the request, and it also does not force the clinic to buy a third key. Dr. Moss writes which method this person will use. Until that line exists, Sofia neither issues hardware nor installs an app. Installing the app first would change a setting before the written agreement the month's ground rule requires.

The account itself still follows Chapter 2: a personal account, not the old shared reception login. This lesson does not pick the method.

14.2 Worked example

Lesson table; scroll horizontally to read all columns →

Proposal Whose decision it copies Decision
"Give them a key, like the nurses." A refusal this person has not made Wait. A third key needs its own agreement
"Install the app today so Monday is easy." No written method Refuse the early install
"Dr. Moss wrote 'app on personal phone' for this receptionist." A line about this person Follow that line
"Skip the second factor for the first week." The shared-login exception already refused for the locum Refuse

Synthetic case. The new receptionist is not given a personal name. No method is chosen here.

Errors and limits

Writing the method does not disable anyone else's factor, and it does not prove the person has completed the ten-minute catch-up topics. Those topics are a separate list.

Apply

  • EX068 — Which method is allowed on Monday? A new receptionist wants an app on a personal phone. The only keys in the log are the two bought for the nurses. Dr. Moss has not written a method for the new person. What do you refuse to copy, and what do you refuse to install?
    Show marking criteria
    Rubric: 3 = do not issue a key merely because the nurses have keys; do not install the app before Dr. Moss writes this person's method; the account still must not be the shared reception login;; 2 = block both the copied key and the early app;; 1 = one block;; 0 = none.
Worked answers

EX068. Do not issue a third key just because two nurses have keys. Do not install an app before Dr. Moss writes the method for this receptionist. The account must not be the shared reception login.
