Managing user access

Examine allows multiple user access to the application. The number of concurrent users that can be logged on at the same time is determined by the license in use. There are two types of users that can acccess the application -

Normal Users

Regular users like Developers and QA personnel who would like to log in and use the application to test web services

Administrators

Administrators are users who would like manage the Examine application itself to configure the various options like license, authorized users and view/delete user sessions, email and jabber server configuration etc.

By default, Examine has one pre-defined user account defined with Administrator access. This account has the username of 'admin' and the default pasword is set to 'admin'.

Note

It is highly recommended that this account be either disabled or the password reset after Examine is installed and started correctly. To do this, login as user ‘admin’ and navigate to Administration->Users and click on user ‘admin’. Then update the password and click on ‘Save’ to save the updated values.

The ‘Administration’ tab will be available only for users in admin role.
