User types and tasks

How user type corresponds to tasks

You log onto ContentDirector as one of the following types of users:

System administrator: full access to all resources
Domain administrator: full access to all resources in your domain
Regular user: access to resources defined by your user group

In the ContentDirector user rights scheme, your tasks often depend on your user type. The task flow after installing ContentDirector can be divided into initial setup tasks and continuing . System and domain administrators perform most initial setup tasks, while regular users perform continuing administration.
