About Users
Users identify individuals that are known to CentraSite. You assign roles and permissions to users to specify which operations they can perform and which registry objects they can access.
When you initially install an instance of CentraSite, it has only two user accounts: an account for the bootstrap user and an account for the default user.
The bootstrap user refers to the user who installs
CentraSite. This user belongs to the Default Organization and becomes the initial Organization Administrator for the organization as well as its primary contact. This user is also given the CentraSite Administrator role, which gives him or her “super admin” privileges. After
CentraSite is installed, you can assign other users to the Organization Administrator role and/or the primary contact position for the Default Organization.
The default user represents an internal user that owns the pre-define objects installed with
CentraSite. The default user exists for
CentraSite’s internal use. You cannot edit or delete this account. You cannot use the default user account to log on to
CentraSite.
Typically, the bootstrap user creates the initial set of organizations on the CentraSite registry/repository. Then, the organization administrators create user accounts for the users that belong to their organizations.
