User Accounts (Professional edition only)

Select Administration, User Accounts, then select an account and click Open or New

User accounts contain a user's login details, and determine their group membership, which in turn controls their access to the system.

IMPORTANT: Keep the default "admin" account password in a safe place. Without access to an account with administrator group rights, you cannot manage users and groups, compact the database or register the software.
