Default Roles for Your Application

Last updated 1/11/2024

Five provides you with two default roles:

• Administrator
• Public

The Administrator and Public roles are for your application. These roles are only for a multiuser application.

Administrator Role

Five will automatically apply this role to the default admin user in your application. This will then enable this user to log into your application and have full table permissions.

The first time logging into your application you will need to use the User ID and password for the admin user, which is initially:

Username: admin

Password: admin

How to Use the Administrator Role

The Administrator role enables you to log into your application. Once you have deployed your application to the development environment for the first time and you have the Sign in window for your application, perform the following steps to log into your application.

1. Type admin in the Username field.

2. Type admin in the Password field.

3. Click the Sign In button.

info

On the Users view, you will see the default users already added into your application. You are currently logged in with the admin User ID. Next time you log in you will use the username: admin and the password you just set. If you need to edit the permissions for this user, you will need to do that back in Five, however, it is recommended that you keep this user with full access to oversee your entire application.

Tips

It is a good idea to set the admin email on the Users form!

Public

The public user is an inbuilt system user that Five uses to allow you to control access to public facing URLs. You can configure the access public URLs require by setting the appropriate permissions against this role back in Five.
