When you log on for the first time after the product installation, you must use the default credentials - username Administrator and password manage. This logs you on as the internal user Administrator and this user has the CentraSite Administrator role. After you have logged on with this username and password, you can perform all administration tasks, such as customizing the portlets, viewing your inbox, and so on.

For security reasons, it is recommended that you must change the default credentials to new credentials.

You can alternatively log on as a guest user but this user cannot perform any administration tasks.

When you log on as a registered user, you supply a username and password. CentraSite user interface validates the username and password against your machine's user repository (for example, operating system or LDAP).

When you access CentraSite user interface as a guest, you are permitted to view only the assets that have been made available for general viewing by their owners. By default, guest users cannot create, modify, or delete any asset data. However, if the guest users have been granted permissions explicitly they can then access the user interface functions appropriately.
