 ### authMode
 
-Auth-mode defines what the client should do when a user token is not present. By default, `Usergrid.authMode` is set to `UsergridAuth.AUTH_MODE_NONE`, whereby when a token is *not* present, an API call will be performed unauthenticated. If instead `Usergrid.authMode` is set to `UsergridAuth.AUTH_MODE_APP`, the API call will instead be performed using client credentials, _if_ they're available (i.e. `authenticateApp()` was performed at some point). 
+Auth-mode is used to determine what the `UsergridClient` will use for authorization.
+
+By default, `Usergrid.authMode` is set to `UsergridAuth.AUTH_MODE_USER`, whereby if a non-expired `UsergridUserAuth` exists in `UsergridClient.currentUser`, this token is used to authenticate all API calls.
