User Management

By default, ADMIN is the only built-in Administrator user in XLServer.
This user should be reserved for administrative tasks only.

For day-to-day operations and managing project-specific objects, it is strongly recommended to create dedicated standard users for each team.


User Types

In XLServer, there are two types of users:

  • Administrator Users

    • Have unrestricted access to all features and objects in XLServer.
    • No privileges assignment is required.
  • Standard Users

    • Work with permissions.
    • Permissions can be either system privileges or project-based privileges.

System Privileges

System privileges give users the ability to execute platform-wide administrative tasks.
