How You Use NM Built-in Names

Notification Manager provides two built-in login names that you can use initially to set up your site, and use as a basis for subsequent transitions. These are NmAdmin and NmGuest. These names can be used both for authentication and authorization.

Note: For more information about authorization, see the section User Authorization in this chapter for details on authorization.

The built-in login names are described in the following table:

Login Name	Description	Privileges
NmAdmin	Administrative login name. Regardless of the authentication mode, the Notification Website checks the internally stored password to confirm this user.	When confirmed, this user can perform all operations available within the website.
NmGuest	Guest login name. Regardless of authentication mode, the Notification Website checks the internally stored password to confirm this user.	When confirmed, this user can perform authorized operations within the Notification Website. NMGuest has a set of privileges that are assigned by default. You can modify this login name through the Notification Website.
