User accounts
User accounts provide login access to the repository. The account contains the user name, password, and information about the repository to which the user has access. The settings are used by Content Manager to check credentials, provide access, and define permissions (for example, read-write access) to the content in the repository.
Most users have only one account, however, some users might find it useful to have more than one account. For example, system administrators may want an account to connect to the production repository and another for connecting to a QA environment. Note however, only one of the accounts can be defined as the default account.
When you access the repository, you are automatically connected to the repository defined in your default account.
