Example(s):
Nancy notices an advertisement on Woodstock First Bank's web site for a CD with a great rate. She clicks on a "sign me up" link which displays a form the bank created. Nancy fills out the form and submits it. The form opens a secure connection across the internet into the MOVEit Transfer system and deposits the information Nancy provided into an encrypted file on the MOVEit Transfer system. Nancy never needed to sign onto the MOVEit Transfer system but she nonetheless took advantage of a MOVEit Transfer feature. Therefore, Nancy is an anonymous user.
Melissa is an IS employee of Woodstock First Bank and has an account on the MOVEit Transfer system. She opens a browser bookmark on her local system which pops up the MOVEit Transfer system login page. As long as Melissa sees the login page, Melissa is an anonymous user. After she successfully logs in through this page Melissa will be an authenticated user.
