There are two default users: 
•  admin 
•  a hidden user 
The hidden default user is for internal use only, and cannot be deleted. If users log in without 
selecting a login user, the hidden default user is automatically used. You can configure some 
rights for the default hidden user, such as monitor rights so that the user can view channels 
without logging in. 
 
Note 
  User rights cannot exceed group rights. 
  General users should have fewer rights than administrators.
