NOTE Access Server gives you the option of allowing nonconfigured PC users to see public tables and provides for a default group and user for the system operator. Upon installation of Access Server, the access group DEFAULT-GROUP and its only user DEFAULT-USER are defined in the data dictionary. The DEFAULT-USER access group has capability 1, and the user has no saved-table capability. If you don't want default users, delete the access group DEFAULT-GROUP at the Delete Access Group (DG) screen. If you want to give DEFAULT-USER saved-table capability, use the Change User (CU) screen to modify the user definition accordingly. The OPERATOR group has only one user, OPERATOR. This user can enable or disable the system, but cannot gain access to Access Server or see any tables. You can delete the OPERATOR access group at the Delete Access Group (DG) screen or change the password at the Change User (CU) screen.
