Overview of User Accounts

CentraSite Documentation : Getting Started with CentraSite : Logging On and Using the UIs and APIs : Your User Account : Overview of User Accounts

To use the CentraSite GUIs or APIs, you must have a user account on the instance of CentraSite with which you want to work. Properties associated with your user account determine the CentraSite features you can use and the set of registry objects with which you can work.

Note:

If your needs are very limited, you can access CentraSite as a guest. Guests are typically allowed to browse a limited set of assets in view-only mode (the exact scope of what a guest can do is determined by the administrator of your CentraSite installation). For information about the configuring the capabilities of a guest user, see the CentraSite Administrator’s Guide .

During installation, CentraSite automatically creates a user account for the user who performs the installation. This user account is assigned to the CentraSite Administrator role, which has "super user" permissions.

If you are the one who installed CentraSite, a user account has automatically been created for you. Following installation, you can log on to CentraSite using your regular operating system or domain credentials (i.e., using the same user name and password that you normally use to access the machine on which CentraSite is installed).

If you are not the one who installed CentraSite, you must contact the administrator of your CentraSite installation to have a user account created for you.
