80 Security
Default Role and User
By default, a role (user group) and two users exist when you install your application. Here are the
defaults:
-
Role : Administrator
User : admin (a case-sensitive login).
Windows installations create a user with the same name as the login for whoever did the
installation. This user is not attached to any role. It is also often unused.
Authentication Manager
The Authentication Manager lets you create and manage Authentication Objects, and, in the
detail panels in its lower half, displays the devices associated with those authentications. These
authentication objects let the application establish a set of credentials for various network
elements, including login IDs and passwords. These restrict access to certain functions and/or
information to authorized users.
