Two Users are created during the installation process, other Users are created automatically when people visit the AIM Dashboard web application.
The first two Users are:
-
Admin - a non-editable account that has all the rights and privileges possible. The password to this account needs to be changed as soon as possible after installation.
-
an account for the person performing the installation, using their MS Windows login details.
Both of these Users have the built-in Administrator and Default User Roles assigned to them. Subsequent, automatically-created, Users have the Default User Role assigned to them, but this can be changed - see Roles for more information.
Managing Users
To see the Existing Users list:
-
In the Manager pane expand Users, Roles, Rights and Groups.
-
Select Manage Users.
It is possible to create Users, however, as this is done automatically when people visit the AIM Dashboard web application, it not necessary unless you need to create Users in advance so they can be given particular rights and access before they visit, or to deny them access completely - see Deny Access to AVEVA AIM Dashboard.
Two types of User can be created:
-
Domain User - users are authenticated using their MS Windows logins.

non-Domain user - for accessing the Admin Tool only, authenticated against login information held in the AIM Workhub database.

The user(s) are added with the Default User Role assigned to them.

Make sure the Existing Users list is open.
-
