+| //AuthorizationButton in the graphics palette.// | //AuthorizationButton graphic example.// |
+==== Overview ====
+The AuthorizationButton graphic is a More Layout button control used for user authentication.
+AuthorizationButton is used with MIStudio security behavior. When pressed, it opens an authorization window where a user can enter a user name and password.
+AuthorizationButton requires a Local Security Manager or MIX Security Manager in the Logic Editor for testing and deployment use.
+==== Common Uses ====
+  * Logging in a user
+  * Logging off a user
+  * Authenticating access to protected actions
+  * Supporting security-controlled buttons, servers, manipulators, or URL buttons
+  * Displaying login status on an application screen
+==== Input Behavior ====
+AuthorizationButton has no default input ports.
+==== Output Behavior ====
+AuthorizationButton has no default output ports.
+AuthorizationButton is used to authenticate the user through a security manager rather than sending a value through a logic output port.
+==== AuthorizationButton-Specific Behavior ====
+AuthorizationButton opens an authorization window when the user presses the button.
+The authorization window is modal, so it must be closed before the user can continue interacting with the application screen.
+AuthorizationButton-specific settings include:
+  * **Name** Sets the name of the AuthorizationButton graphic.
+  * **Bezel** Sets the AuthorizationButton bezel style.
+  * **Enabled** Controls whether the user can interact with the AuthorizationButton.
+  * **Font** Controls the font used on the AuthorizationButton.
+  * **Font Color** Sets the font color.
+  * **Bezel Color** Sets the outside bezel color.
+  * **Bezel Inside Color** Sets the inside bezel color.
+  * **Bezel Thickness** Sets the thickness of the bezel.
+  * **Cursor** Sets the cursor shown when the pointer is over the AuthorizationButton.
+  * **HashPasswords** Controls password hashing behavior.
+  * **PasswordLifetime** Sets the password lifetime value.
+  * **Visible** Controls whether the AuthorizationButton is shown.
+==== Security Manager Requirement ====
+AuthorizationButton requires a security manager in the Logic Editor.
+For testing or deployment, add a Local Security Manager or MIX Security Manager to the same application page as the AuthorizationButton.
+The security manager handles the authentication behavior used by the AuthorizationButton.
+==== Logic Ports ====
+In the Logic Editor, AuthorizationButton has no default input or output ports.
+==== Notes ====
+Use AuthorizationButton when an application needs user login or authentication behavior.
+Use this graphic with a Local Security Manager or MIX Security Manager.
+For general button-style output behavior, use [[mistudio:design_editor:more_layout:buttons_inputs:button|Button]].
+For opening a URL or switching to another application, use [[mistudio:design_editor:basic_layout:active_controls:urlbutton|URLButton]].
