Creating users with the Default User template
Most of the properties that a typical user will need can be given to the "Default User" template, and then used automatically every time you create a new user.
About this task
User role: Product administrator
Note: By default, the "Default User" user type is QuickScan User. For example,
you might want most users to only be able to review reports and not perform any job or report pack
configuration. You can give the "Default User" a Report Consumer role and choose which folders they
are allowed to access. When new users log in for the first time, they will automatically assume the
access permissions of the Default User template. The "Default User" is displayed in the list of
users on the Administration tab > Users and Groups page. If a user type is listed as
"Restricted", you cannot change it because that user type has additional administrative permissions
that you don't have. You can only change user types that have your access permission level or lower.
For example, if you have a Standard User type, you cannot change the Administrator user type.
New users will inherit the license type of the Default User (floating or authorized user), which is set the first time the product instance is configured.
Procedure
- Go to the Administration view.
- On the Users and Groups page, select the Default User from the list.
- On the Edit User page, make your changes, and click Save.
