Managing Accounts and Users

With the MongoDB module, the system supports several features for managing accounts and users. The following extensions let you set up the system to manage different types of users:

Supported User Roles

The first time you connect the simulator to the database, the system creates an Administrator account by default.

Default Administrator Account Information
Account type	Administrator
Privileges	Add and modify other accounts Access and modify default scoring roles
Default user name	admin
Default password	admin

Important: You must change the default password when you log into the system for the first time. The default password is publicly available and your system cannot be secure until you change it.

By default, the system supports the following user roles:

User Role	Permissions
Administrator	Responsible for setting up the system for users with Instructors and Student accounts. The Administrator should add at least one Instructor account, and can customize scoring and report settings.
Instructor	Responsible for facilitating sessions on the simulator. Users with Instructor accounts can add Student accounts and group them into classes.
Student	Uses the simulator to complete simulation sessions and operate equipment in the simulation. The system scores performance and records metrics associated with each Student account.
Guest	Can start sessions on the simulator and use controls anonymously. The system does not record scores or metrics for Guest sessions. This role is useful for demonstration sessions.
