    This feature adds a setting to the control panel to require signing in to
    view attachments. This is in addition to the security already provided in
    the download URLs. Currently, download URLs are signed for a specific help
    desk, and automatically expire after about 24 hours. The exact timing is the
    following midnight allowing for at least 12 hours cache time.
    
    Administrators can impose this extra security feature to refuse serving
    attachment files if the user is not currently signed in. This could prevent
    third-party users from viewing an attachment if they were able to get access
    to the download URL before it expired.
