About User Account Management

1.     The User Management feature includes three roles:

Administrator, Developer, and Operator.

2.     As shown in Table 4–1, each role has a set of permissions that determines what DAC functionality the role can access.

3.     The User Management dialog box enables a user with the Administrator role to manage user accounts.

4.     A user account includes a unique identifier, password, and one or more roles.

5.      The Administrator can also inactivate a user account.

6.     For instructions on managing user accounts, see "Creating, Deleting and Inactivating User Accounts".

7.     Upon the initial login to a new DAC installation, a user account with the

Administrator role is automatically created.

8.     This default user account name is Administrator, and the default password is Administrator.

9.     It is recommended that after the initial login, the user change the default password.

Note: A user with the Administrator role must distribute the DAC

Repository database authentication file to user accounts that need to

access the DAC Repository. For information about the authentication

file, see "DAC Repository Database Authentication File".
