h1. Recommendation for setup at a new institute 

 





 h2. Leginon/Appion Administrator 

 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. 

 If you are the Leginon guru at your institute, you may want to start Leginon as the administrator and modify its node settings once you have figured out the appropriate values at your institute so that you won't have to check and modify them for every new users. 

 





 h2. Regular 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 necessary inecessary to go through the steps outlined in [[Set up for a new regular user]] section.
