Objects of the type "WebAdmin user" are used to administer the authorizations of the individual WebAdmin users. Before working with the WebAdmin application, a user must always sign on by entering their WebAdmin user name. If a password is assigned to this WebAdmin user, then the user must also specify this before he or she can work with WebAdmin.
There is a predefined user called the "Master". This user has all authorizations and cannot be deleted or modified. Depending on the number, tasks and authorizations of the administrators who work with WebAdmin, it may be worthwhile setting up additional "WebAdmin users" and assigning these privileges as appropriate to the tasks they have to perform. See also Passwords and overall privileges. Only a WebAdmin user with the master privilege is authorized to create, delete, or modify a WebAdmin user.
