Predefined Users
By default, InterSystems IRIS includes the following user accounts:
Predefined User Accounts
Username |
Purpose |
Admin |
Administration account. |
CSPSystem |
Account for the Web gateway when making a web-based connection to InterSystems IRIS using Instance Authentication. |
SuperUser |
Account with all system privileges |
UnknownUser

Account used by unauthenticated users.
|
_PUBLIC |
A set of privileges assigned to all users. |
_SYSTEM |

In addition, the system creates a “privileged user account” during installation with Normal or Locked Down Security. The user who is installing InterSystems IRIS enters the user name and password during the installation.
Default Passwords:
-
Minimal Security: When InterSystems IRIS is installed with minimal security, all of the default users except _PUBLIC, which has no password and is never enabled, have “SYS” as a default password.
-
Normal Security: When InterSystems IRIS is installed with normal security, all of the default users except _PUBLIC, which has no password and is never enabled, use the privileged user account's password.
-
Locked Down Security: When InterSystems IRIS is installed with locked down security, all of the default users except _PUBLIC and _SYSTEM, which are disabled, use the privileged user account's password.
Note:
The privileges that these predefined users enjoy by default as well as other properties vary with the security level of the InterSystems IRIS installation: minimal, normal, or locked down. With certain restrictions, the default properties of these users can be changed and the user accounts deleted.
