Set the parameters to apply the four-eyes principle (7):
1. If the administrator has to confirm the launch of export for users of this role, select the appropriate role in the Supervisor for access to export list.
2. If the administrator has to confirm the login of users of this role, select the corresponding role in the Supervisor for authorization in client list.
