Users

In this tab, the currently defined users and their respective permissions are listed. You can define new users and assign permissions to them here (see How do I create a new user account?).

After installation, the following users (without password!) are predefined in the Prinect Manager:

The administrative user "Administrator" (no password) and the user specified during the installation (such as "prinect") are defined by default for the Prinect Manager server installation. The Prinect Manager service runs under this "prinect" user. Following installation, you should assign a password for the "Administrator" user in the "User" section.

The user defined during the installation (for example "prinect") is a Windows user with whose permis­sions the Prinect Manager processes are executed on the server.

This user is added to the group of local Windows administrators during installation. This user should not be used to log on to the Prinect Cockpit.

The users that can be set up in the Prinect Manager user management are separate from the Win­dows users. They are exclusively used to assign permissions in the Prinect Manager.

To access other computers or resources shared there in the network neighborhood, Prinect Cockpit users must be set up in the Windows OS environment with the same names and passwords:

•In domains as domain users

•In workgroups as local users on all computers to whose shared resources (folders) the users logged in to Prinect Cockpit must have access.

User names

As a general rule, UNIX computers are case sensitive, even with user names. But the user names of Windows OSs are not case-sensitive. Passwords are case sensitive on all systems. This also applies to users who are set up in the Prinect Manager.

Note: To avoid lower case/upper case issues, we recommend using only lower case user names throughout the entire system.
