Setting up Users

You can add the various users that perform actions in the project. You can add roles for each user based on the work that they carry out.

You can use the default user accounts provided by GlobalSight or create your own.

Finding the Default Users

GlobalSight creates three user accounts. The default password for each is password.

Account Name	Description
<company name>admin	Administrator account that is used to set up the company
<company name>pm	Project Manager account that is used by the PM to set up and manage the project
<company name>anyone	Basic account created for any other user

To find the user accounts:

1. Click Users in the FileSystem Guide. You can also open it from the Setup menu
   
   
   
   
2. Type the company name in the Company Name field and click Enter
   
   
   
   

Details of the accounts show. Use the admin account for the rest of the set up work.
