Every person who needs access to Flow needs a user account in the system. Each user account is assigned user credentials including a User Name and Password as well as a role to control what that actions that user can perform in the system. As part of the installation, Flow comes pre-installed with a System Administrator user by default. This System Administrator user account can be used to access Flow and create new and manage existing users as well as assign user permissions. Add UsersYou can create new user accounts and assign those users specific access in Flow using the User Management > Add User option.  Image Removed Image Added
