Configuring ADMIN account

The ADMIN account is the master account for the Discover Portal. Before you configure other accounts in the system, you should configure this account.

  • To configure the ADMIN account, click the Unica Discover User Administration link in the left navigation panel. Click Users. Then, select ADMIN. The account settings are displayed. Review the following items:
    Setting
    Description
    Username
    By default, this account username is set to ADMIN.
    Note: Renaming this account is not permitted.
    NT Username
    If you are using NT authentication, enter the NT domain username for this account.
    • For more information on NT Authentication, see "Authentication" in the Unica Discover Administration Manual.
    NT Domain
    If you are using NT authentication, enter the NT domain for this account.
    • For more information on NT Authentication, see "Authentication" in the Unica Discover Administration Manual.
    Email
    Enter a valid email address for the Discover administrator who manages Unica Discover.
    Time Zone (used in Search)
    Select the administrator's preferred time zone. When viewing session data, the date and time information is converted to the configure time zone.

    This setting defaults to the Primary Group Default. The administrator can then make adjustments to this setting by selecting from the time zones.

    System Locale
    Select the preferred system locale setting to configure the Discover Portal to use the regional locale settings for the administrator user. The system locale setting defines how currency, numeric values, date, and time are formatted and displayed.

    This setting defaults to the Primary Group Default at the user level. The administrator can then make adjustments to this setting by selecting from the available system locales.

    Date Format
    Select the format, such as mm/dd/yyyy, from the drop-down list.

    At the user level, the administrator's date format defaults to the Primary Group Default that would be the Admin Group's date format. At the group level, the Admin Group's date format defaults to the date format of the system locale that admin group selects. However, the administrator user can change date format from Primary Group Default to Use system locale (default) to apply the selected System Locale settings to the date format. You can also select a specific date format from the list of available formats.

    Portal Navigation Menu
    This account should have access to all Discover Portal menu items. You can leave the default value.
    Primary User Group
    This account should have its primary user group set to Admin Group, which is the default value.
