Recommendation for setup at a new institute¶

First user : administrator¶

The user with username "administrator" is a special user in Leginon/Appion. It belongs to the administrator group with highest level of privileges if the login is enabled at the web server. For legion operation, once the setting preferences in a node that shares the same class and alias are defined by the administrator, all newly created users get these settings when they launch the node until they make changes themselves. This allows a faster setup per database (institute) for the beginners. The web server setup wizard should have guided you to create this user.

Additional users :¶

A Leginon user set in the adminstration tool defines his/her own preferences once changed from the "adminstrator" user default above. It is also not related to the computer login user. Therefore, it is inecessary to go through the steps outlined in Set up for a new regular user section.
