Feature Summary & Impacts to User Groups

New Feature: Client Secret Authentication

FileConnect has been updated to use a client secret mechanism as a means of authorising a client, the software requiring an access token. This security assess token needs to be generated from RecordPoint and configured in the FileConnect settings.
