superuser
The user superuser is created automatically. By default, this user is assigned the User management, License management, and Configuration administrator function privileges. This user can also enable this function privilege for other users. Users of the superuser type do not use up a license. They manage the system administration, but cannot use ARIS products due to license restrictions. The default password is superuser. You should change the default password to prevent unauthorized access. The password of the superuser is very important, as it is the only user who cannot be deleted. You can change all user data except for the user name. The superuser can recreate the other default users (system, arisservice, guest) if they were deleted.
system
The system user system assumes the of the system administrator and has all function and access privileges in all databases of a tenant. Authorized persons can use this emergency user to log in to any database, even if you are using an external system, such as LDAP, for authentication.
The name system cannot be changed. The System user check box for this user (Function privileges properties page in ARIS Architect) cannot be disabled either. You should immediately change the password manager to prevent unauthorized access.
To avoid problems, you should create additional system users. Having more than one system user can avoid problems, for example, if one system user has forgotten his password. If you forgot the passwords of all your system users, the full range of functions is no longer available and full data access is no longer possible.
