The Katso interface lets you manage the electronic Katso IDs that belong to your company, including any ID-related data and information, and internal and external authorizations that your company may grant to various users. You can change Passwords, print out Lists of One-Time Passwords, and create Sub-IDs for your employees. When your company is a holder of a valid Katso ID, you can receive authorizations that other companies may grant to you.
