Setting up an Account

Any LOBSTA instance will have a default account of username admin and password admin. This account is meant to allow you to create a new account for admin users and be deleted afterwards for security reasons. An administrator account has unrestricted access to the application, even bypassing the permissions set in Roles and Permissions, and having one is required to access the sections written in the Admin Manual and the next steps.

To create a new admin account and delete the default account:

1. Once logged in, click on Administration on the navigation bar and then on Users on the redirected menu.
2. On the Users page, click New User.
3. Fill in the obligatory fields. Click on the Administrator field to acquire admin functionalities!
4. Once done, click create. Now you can log off from the default account and log into the newly created account.
5. On the new account, go to Users, and click delete on the default account. Fill in the appearing warning form, asking you to confirm deletion by writing the user and you are done.

You now have an administrator account for you to access all LOBSTA functionality. You will repeat this method up until 3, but leaving blank the Administrator field, for creating other user accounts too.
