Users and Groups
Overview
You can create any number of users and user groups for UDMG and you can assign any user to any user group.
The permissions assigned to each user and group determine the level of access to UDMG functions.
You can assign any permission to any user or any user group. If you assign a user to a group, the user inherits all permissions assigned to that group.
Default Users and Groups
Default User
The default user is admin. It is granted all permissions and assigned to the default group.
Note
When the UDMG Server is first started, a single user named 'admin' is created with the password 'admin_password'. The user has full administrative permissions and should only be used to create other users to administer the UDMG Server.
It is strongly recommended that you create one or more users immediately and then change the 'admin' account password.
In case you have lost or forgotten the 'admin' password, please refer to Recover/reset administrator access rights.
Default Group
The default user group is Generic. It is assigned to the default Business Service and has no permission by default.
It is assigned to a user when no other user groups are explicitly assigned or when the last user group assignment is removed.
Adding a User
You must have Write User permissions to add users.
By default, a new user has no permissions. Until permissions are granted, users can log into the UDMG user interface and view options in the Menu but cannot perform any tasks.
