To remove the default admin account and create a local account for yourself with administrative privileges

1Log in as admin and go to User > Users. The Users page appears.

2Create a local user account for yourself with the Administrator role. See To add a local user on page 322.

3Log out and log back in using your new local account.

4Go to Users > Users and delete the admin account. See To delete a local user on page 323.

To find a user or users

1Go to User > Users.

The Users page appears.

2For a simple search, enter a search string in the Search users field and press ENTER.

The system matches the string you enter against the beginning of the user ID, first name, and last name. If you enter “sa” it displays users whose IDs or first or last names begin with “sa.” To search for a string not at the beginning of the field, you can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard. You can restrict the search to local users by selecting the check box.

3For more search options, click the down arrow to the right.

Additional controls appear that let you search specific fields and use specific filters.

4Select the filters you want, enter search strings for one or more fields, and click Search. The system displays the users matching your search criteria.

Note: Search Results Could Be Unsorted

The RealPresence DMA system’s user database is unsorted. To avoid performance issues, if your query matches more than 4000 users, no attempt is made to sort the results on the server side before returning the matching records.

To add a local user

1Go to User > Users.

2In the Actions list, click Add.

3In the Add User dialog box, complete the General Info fields. See Add User Dialog Box on page 305.

4To create the new user account, but not activate it immediately, select Account Disabled.

5To assign the user additional roles (besides Conferencing User), click Roles. Select the role or roles you want to assign and use the arrow button to move them to the Selected Roles list.

Explicitly assigned roles give the user access to the system management interface.

6Click OK.

To edit a user

1Go to User > Users.

2If necessary, filter the Users list to find the user to be modified.
