Welcome, sign out

This welcome, sign out feature greets authenticated users by their first name and allows them to log out of the application. All text appears in Source Sans, Light Orange, 13 pt. The hyperlink to log out is underlined, and it takes users to the logged out confirmation page.

Problem

For security reasons, users need a way to log out of the application without closing their browser window. We place this log out link in a persistent place in the header of all applications so users have an obvious and intuitive place to find this log out link.

Solution

We provided this link so users can log out of the application without closing their browser window. We added a friendly message so the application feels warm and welcoming. This adds an additional level of security and convenience for users navigating in and out of the BI applications. The link should appear proximate to other persistent tasks.
