Supplied User

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

Symphony supplies one user: admin. The admin is a system administrator, and can define other users and Symphony tenant accounts, enable security features, and define user groups and privileges.

After Symphony has been installed and deployed in your operating environment, access the application as the admin user from a WebSocket-supported web browser. When you initially access the product, Symphony prompts you to change the passwords for the admin user.

The admin User

The supplied admin user is defined as a Symphony system administrator (in the Administrators group) for the supplied Symphony tenant account. The admin user cannot be deleted.

The first time you log into the UI as the admin user, you are prompted to change the admin user password. Thereafter, you can change the password for the admin user only if you are logged into the Symphony UI as an administrator.

Other users can be defined as administrators or can be assigned to groups with some administrator privileges. See Add User Definitions, About Supplied Group Definitions, and Group Privilege Reference .

The supervisor User

The default supervisor user is no longer installed; add users to the Supervisors group instead.

Your Symphony installation (whether stand-alone or scale-out) provides one supervisor user. This user definition is permanent and cannot be deleted.

Other users can be defined as Symphony supervisors.

Supervisors should be used to make account-level changes to Symphony (such as configuring SAML). Limit the availability of this access level to personnel responsible for managing Symphony.

Supervisor group members can:

  • Manage Symphony multi-tenancy accounts, including creating, removing, enabling, and disabling multi-tenancy accounts. Except when initially creating an multi-tenancy account, supervisors cannot change or assign administrators to the multi-tenancyaccount.

  • Brand or white label the Symphony Data Discovery interface.

  • Manage connectors.

  • Fully delete users disabled by an administrative user in Symphony Data Discovery.

The supplied supervisor user can only be assigned to the Symphony superaccount. It cannot be assigned to any other Symphony multi-tenancy accounts. Supervisor users you create can be assigned to the superaccount as well as other accounts.

The first time you log into the Symphony UI as the supplied supervisor user, you are prompted to change the supervisor password. Thereafter, you can change the password for the supervisor user only if you are logged into Symphony as the supervisor.
