CONFIGURING LIBRARY USERS
Overview Everylibraryuserisassignedtoagroup,eachwithitsownset
ofpre‐definedlibraryprivileges(alsoknownaspermissions).These
privilegesdeterminethetypeofoperationsausercanperformonthe
library.Theseprivilegesaretheprimarymeansforconfiguringlibrary
security.
User Privilege Requirements Onlyauserwithsuperuserprivilegescan
add,modify,ordeleteusers.
Understanding User Groups and Security
Beforeyoubegin,readthissectiontounderstandthethreetypesofuser
groupsandwhattypesofprivilegeseachhas.Bydefault,passwordsare
notsetforanyofthethreedefaultusers.
Note: Ifencryptionisenabled,thereisanadditional,separatepassword
toaccesstheencryptionfeatures.SeePasswordsandOther
Identifiersonpage298forinformationabouttheencryption
user.
Thefollowingtabledescribesthethreeusergroupsandtheprivilegesof
each.Bydefault,passwordsarenotrequiredforanyofthethreedefault
users.
