Setup

Setting up initial users

After you have just installed Tryton, the first time that you login you will need to use the admin account. Once you have successfully logged in you will be presented with a configuration wizard. As you progress through its stages you will reach one stage that allows you to Configure Users.

It is often a good idea to use this opportunity to create at least one non-administrator User.

Nearly all of the fields can either be left blank, or already have good default values. You will, however, need to fill in the Login name for the new user. It is also a good time to add some groups to the new user depending on what they will need to access.

If you then enter in an email address you could later use the Reset Password button to send them a temporary password. Alternatively you can directly fill in the Password for them.

Once you have finished filling in the users details you can then click on the Add button to save the new user account and clear the screen ready to enter another new user.

Tip

It is generally considered good practice to normally login to Tryton using a non-administrator account. The admin account is intended to be used when you need to make administrative changes to Tryton, such as activating new modules, or managing which Groups a user belongs to.
