The Initial OpenEngagement DMS Users – Local Solutions
Up one level
The OpenEngagement DMS will have two initial users. The first has username admin and password admin. The second has username script and password script. This user account is used only to execute the scheduled overnight tasks.
Administrators have full power on an OpenEngagement DMS site; they may view, add, delete and modify any content, users, user groups and so on. One of the first tasks firms should perform with the OpenEngagement DMS is to create new users. These will have a variety of roles, but should include at least one Manager or Site Manager. Once these users are created, it is recommended users log on only as these users, and not as the Administrator unless necessary. With the Go-Between in particular, users should not use the Administrator role.
Generally, an OpenEngagement DMS instance will have only one Administrator, though it is possible to create additional Administrator user accounts. The Administrator user account is intended only for the rare administrative tasks done on the site and should not normally be used to access the site. The user using the Administrator account should then also create a Manager account with another username & password for themselves. They will possibly set this username to be their first or last name. They would, once this Manager account is created, usually log into the system using this user account. All other people using the OpenEngagement DMS would just have one username and password.
It is possible for a firm to create multiple installations of the DMS. If a firm installs multiple instances of the DMS, any user accounts created on one instance will not appear on the other instances unless the user accounts are specifically created there as well. This allows firms with multiple DMS instances to define different user access permissions on all sites.
