About the default user

The default user account is active when no user is logged into the
system.

When setting up security, keep the following in mind:

You can change the security codes for the default user account, but

you cannot change the account ID, or add a password.

For a completely secure project, clear all security codes for the

default user account. This ensures that the default user does not
have any privileges.

Ensuring you always have access

When setting up accounts, first create a “super user” account for the
system administrator, filling in the fields as specified below. Be sure to
select all security codes (A through P).

Creating user accounts

You can create user accounts in the User Accounts editor, or, if the
computer on which RSView32 is installed is running Windows Server
2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows Vista, you can create
user accounts by adding users from the Windows domain user list.
You cannot use both Windows and RSView32 to maintain user
accounts in the same project.

When you use the Windows user list you can’t enter or change user
names or passwords in the User Accounts editor, but you can specify
login and logout macros.

All users you add from the Windows user list must be in the same
Windows domain. All Windows users added to the RSView32 User
Accounts will have the same security codes as DEFAULT in the User
Accounts editor.
