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.
