Default Users

Last updated 14/04/2023

The Users view allows you to add users to your Five account. By default, you will have a default Administrator user and a default Developer user out of the box. Each of these default users respectively have the Administrator role and the Developer role assigned to them.

Creating a user in Five will require them to have a role assigned. Five has three inbuilt roles for you to select to assign to your Five users.

  • Administrator
  • Developer
  • Control

info
While you are on the Users view in Five, you are adding users to your Five account, not your end-user applications.

Each role has different permissions granted. You can control who has access to what forms in Five with these roles. Five maintains these operations through the CRUD operations.

Public User

The Public user is a user that you can create to control permissions for public forms such as custom URLs. This enables users to have access to the URL provided by you without having to log into your application. A public user will only have access to the tables that you assign to them. The public user is not used inside of Five itself, currently it is a user for your applications.

Standalone User

The Standalone user is a reserved user for Five standalone applications. When Five is installed as a standalone application on Windows or Mac (not running as a service in the Cloud) the user will always be the standalone user.
