Crystal Enterprise default users and groups

This section lists and describes the different types of default users and groups that are found within Crystal Enterprise. Users are members of a group or groups—their rights are determined by which group or groups they are associated with (and also by their user rights).

Default users

There are two default users included with Crystal Enterprise: Administrator and Guest. These users and any new users (created or mapped users) are members of a group or groups. For procedures on managing users, see Managing Enterprise and general accounts.

Administrator

The Administrator user belongs to the Administrators and Everyone groups. This user is able to perform all of the tasks in all of the Crystal Enterprise applications (for example, the Crystal Management Console, Crystal Configuration Manager, Crystal Publishing Wizard, and ePortfolio). By default, the administrator is not assigned a password. To assign a password, see Setting the Administrator password.

Guest

The Guest user is a member of the Everyone group. This user can view reports that are found within the Report Samples folder. Generally, the Guest user accesses reports through ePortfolio. This account is enabled by default. To disable this default setting, see Disabling the Guest account.

Note:    If users in multiple time zones use the Guest account, see Supporting ePortfolio users in multiple time zones.
