	Name	Description
1	Toolbar	Displays the icons for operations such as Add, Delete or Save.
2	Users	Lists all the defined users with access to Desigo CC. A user name is used to log on to Desigo CC. In a distributed system, the check box in the Global column indicates the type of user.
3	Enabled	When selected, a user can operate Desigo CC (default setting). Disabled users cannot log on to Desigo CC.
4	Group membership	Displays the user group assignment to a user.
5	Configured groups	Displays user groups that can be assigned a user.

Information

NOTE 1:
The following user activities are recorded in Desigo CC :
- Creating or deleting a user
- Changing a password
- Changing a user (without detail information on the change).

NOTE 2:
As the default setting, the user DefaultAdmin is assigned to the DefaultAdmins user group, and DefaultUser is assigned to the DefaultUsers group. Neither can be deleted. Ensure that you remember the password at a later date. Desigo CC provides no backdoor for forgotten passwords.
Create an administrator users group and an administrator on site, when handing over a project to the customer (Disabling DefaultAdmin user).
