Predefined User Accounts

CA Performance Center provides two predefined ("factory") user accounts. These accounts are useful for performing initial setup. You can use them to allocate LDAP access with minimal role rights, or as templates for custom user accounts. But because they are common to all CA Performance Center installations, they are less secure.

Important! The factory user accounts are not substitutes for custom user accounts. We recommend changing the default passwords immediately after installation for improved security.

Note: You cannot delete the two predefined user accounts (admin and user).

The factory user accounts have the following parameters:

admin

Grants all administrative privileges.

Role: Administrator

Special Role Rights: All (the "global administrator" or Default Tenant administrator)

Permission Groups: Can view data from all groups

Default password: admin

user

Specifies typical operator privileges, such as viewing data.

Role: IT Operator

Special Role Rights: None

Permission Groups: Can view data from all groups

Default password: user

User account status is Enabled or Disabled. Disable an account to prevent a user from accessing the product.
