User Accounts Created Automatically on the CMS

When you install a CMS, the following user accounts are created automatically in the top-level Users group:

Primary Administrator

This is the CA DataMinder account you created when you installed the CMS. This account has full administrative privileges.

Use this account to configure CA DataMinder and create other user accounts, including other administrators and managers.

UnknownInternalSender

This account has no management or administrative privileges; its sole purpose is as a conduit to enable policy engines to apply policy to internal emails from unrecognized senders.

When you install a CMS, the Unknown Internal Sender setting in the machine policy defaults to this UnknownInternalSender user account.

ExternalSender

This account has no management or administrative privileges; its sole purpose is as a conduit to enable policy engines to apply policy to external emails.

When you install a CMS, the External Sender setting in the machine policy defaults to this ExternalSender user account.

DefaultFileUser

This account has no management or administrative privileges; its sole purpose is as a conduit to enable policy engines to apply policy to scanned, captured or imported files if no other means are available to determine the policy participant.

When you install a CMS, the Default Policy for Files setting in the machine policy defaults to this DefaultFileUser user account.

DefaultClientFileUser

This account is similar to the DefaultFileUser account. The account is used solely by the Client File System Agent (CFSA) when scanning local workstations. The CFSA uses this account to apply the same policy to scanned files across all workstations.

When you install a CMS, the Default Policy for Data At Rest setting in the machine policy defaults to this DefaultClientFileUser user account.

DefaultClassificationUser

This account is used solely by the Content Classification Service (CCS) when classifying documents forwarded to CA DataMinder by external applications. The CCS uses this account to apply the same policy to all documents that require classification.

When you install the CCS, the Default Policy for Classification setting in the machine policy defaults to this DefaultClassificationUser account.

NT AUTHORITY\* accounts

CA DataMinder creates a series of CA DataMinder user accounts to match Windows system user. For example, the NT AUTHORITY\System account is used by policy engines running as LocalSystem when logging on to the CMS.

Note: All of these accounts are automatically exempt from CA DataMinder policy and do not count towards the licensed user limit.
