7. Select the correct database
8. A new pop up will appear with a login screen:

9. Type in the default Username and Password for the admin.

User: Administrator

Password: admin

10. Configure Privileges and permissions for your users. The first screen will show users, ID’s, privileges and if it is a single user or not.

Create, Edit or Delete:

1. Create New:

Click on “User” > “New” and fill in information:

User type = Log in name

Option to enforce single log in and/ or create admin account.
