About the Default User and the Default Role

The Default User is the user that has been assigned to the Default Role. The default role typically grants only a minimum set of permissions. Any user can be assigned to the default role, however, it is normally used for those who have not logged in - that is, non-authenticated users (NAUs).

Only one Default User can be defined per system.

  • If a user is logged in when their role is changed to the default role, those changes are applied immediately.

Warning

  • Only one role can be set as the default at any time.
  • Only users who have administrative permissions can set the default role.
  • Users must be assigned to at least one role. In the absence of such assignment, the user will be deemed a default user, which usually means that they are assigned the permissions of the default role.

Deleting default users and default roles

Both the Default User, and the User Role - Default User are a System User/Role since they must exist for the web application to function correctly.

Therefore, they cannot be deleted.
