This page is for PhixFlow administrators who want to manage user accounts.

The Startup User

When PhixFlow is first installed, it has a special user account to enable login. This account has:

• name: Startup 
• password: Startup

Use the startup user to log into your new installation and to add some user accounts. At least one account must have Administer Users, User Groups and Roles privilege. Check that your new user accounts work.

When you have accounts with appropriate privileges, you can disable the the startup user:

• In the repository, open the startup user.
• Untick Login Allowed. 

Alternatives:

• Delete the startup user; see Deleting Users, below.
• Disable the startup user's encoder; see the Removing Old Encoders section of Understanding Password Encryption.
