The root user, the user whose login name is "root", has special
characteristics:
- Created upon installation: The root user is the only default
user that the installation program creates. The default password is
"root". (Change the password immediately after installation).
- No license required: The root user does not consume a user
license. No matter how many users are logged in, you can always log
in as the root user. (When someone logs in as root, another user already
logged in as root is logged off.)
- System time zone: The root user's time zone is the default
time zone of the Management Console. The time zone for other users,
both in-system and LDAP users, is taken from the root user's time
zone by default. Users can set their own time zone after logging in
once. All times and logs reported in the system are expressed in the
user's time zone.
- All permissions: The root user has all available permissions
and can edit other users' properties. You cannot remove any access
privileges from the root user. Although the root user is not a member
of any access groups, the root user can view, edit, or use any data
objects in the system.
- Priority: The root user is always a priority user.
- Logging out current users: The root user can log out users
by clicking Logout User. (Click and then click the user's name.)
