Sample Users

The sample HQ database ships with the following sample users. You can experiment with Archibus by signing in as these users. For information on working with these sample users in non-English locales, see Set a Sample Archibus Foundations or SaaS User to a Non-English Locale.

Note:

The AFM-EM user has department manager features because it is designated as department managers in the Employees table or Departments table. See Set up a department manager to access the manager features of Archibus Workplace.
By default, the GUEST account is enabled. Clients who want to ensure that visitors cannot access the system can disable the Guest account by having their SaaS Partner Administrator delete the GUEST records in the Archibus Users (afm_users) table.
If you wish to sign in as these sample users, you can obtain the user passwords from Archibus Technical Support.
