Each user logs on to Content Manager OnDemand with a user ID.
Content Manager OnDemand authenticates user IDs and determines the usage and administrative authority available to the user based on the log on user ID. An Content Manager OnDemand user ID does not necessarily have to identify an individual user. However, for accounting purposes, you probably want to assign an Content Manager OnDemand user ID to each person that uses the system.
Content Manager OnDemand automatically creates the
ADMIN user ID when you initialize the system. The ADMIN user ID has
system administrator authority. A system administrator can perform
the basic user functions, such as logging on the system and opening
folders, and administrative functions, such as defining users and
groups and creating, updating, and deleting application groups, applications,
folders, storage sets, and printers. Note: For a local server,
the default administrative user ID is admin.
The system does not set an initial password for the admin user
ID on a local server. See IBM Content Manager OnDemand for Multiplatforms: Installation
and Configuration Guide for more information on local servers.
Content Manager OnDemand groups are a means to organize users by function, authorization, or any other purpose you might require. When you define an Content Manager OnDemand group, you can organize users by department or function and set folder and application group permissions that are common to all of the users assigned to the group. The permissions determine the types of actions that users assigned to the group can perform. You do not have to assign a user to a group, but doing so can simplify administration of users with similar requirements and capabilities.
