Creating initial users
AssetTrack Server, AssetTrack Mobile, and AssetTrack Management Console all require user accounts to log in. This is true even if you have specified Windows Security mode.
This topic discusses how to create a handful of accounts for the initial users of AssetTrack, such as the asset manager who will need to set up database tables and design forms, and for other users who are eager to sign on and give the system a test drive.
