All AVEVA Instrumentation SQL Server seed databases have four default Groups pre-created:

The four default Groups cover the common user types on any project: Instrument Engineers, Instrument Designers, Process Engineers and a special 'Everyone' Group which is the default Group for any user accessing the database.
Note: The Everyone Group provides only read-only access by default.
Each of these Groups has pre-set or default access rights to various Instrumentation Security Manager objects based on typical project requirements. These access rights can be modified by a Instrumentation Security Manager Administrator. For further information, refer to Setting Security on Objects.
