Built-In Users

  • Updated

Your installation might include additional built-in users that are necessary for specific features. The number of extra built-in users can depend on the features that come with your license.

Tip

If you're using a Standard Stack installation, we recommend that you change the default passwords of your built-in users as soon as possible. This isn't necessary for Cloud users.

Examples of built-in users

The following licensed features come with built-in users:

  • The term browser:

    • If your license includes the term browser, the users termbrowser and termcontribution are also included by default.

      • The termbrowser user has the roles term browser user and term browser administrator. It can sign in and view terms. You can use the termbrowser user to configure the Term Browser search settings.

      • The termcontribution user has the role Term contributor and can contribute terms and add comments to existing terms. You can use the termcontribution user to record changes that anonymous users submit from the term contribution and "Add comment" forms.

  • Style guides and term browser

    • With style guides, the user termtargetaccess is included by default.

      • The termtargetaccess user has the roles term browser user and term browser administrator and can sign in and view terms. You can use the termtargetsaccess user to share term filters with style guides.

The following built-in user isn't associated with a licensed feature:

  • Terminology API Access

    • If API Token or Enterprise Federated Authentication isn't applicable:

      • You can use the termapiaccess user with automatic terminology integrations that use the terminology API. The termapiaccess user has the role Terminology API Access. It has access to API-based terminology applications, sign in to the Dashboard, and view and edit terms. It can also change the status of a term, import and export terms, and restore and create database backups.

        Note

        You'll need to change the password for termapiaccess before you can use it.

Restrictions

The following restrictions and exceptions apply to built-in users:

  • You can’t delete a built-in user.

  • You can’t assign other roles than the preconfigured roles to the built-in users.

  • If your license has a named user limit, the built-in users don’t count toward this limit.
