Before a user can log in, an Enterprise Reporter administrator must first add an account for that user. When the administrator creates the account, a role (set of access privileges) is associated with the account.

An administrator can add user accounts that originate from either pre-existing network domains in use at your site (such as NIS or Windows Active Directory) or from a private domain created with the Symantec Product Authentication Service.

Enterprise Reporter ships with a private domain, ccer, in which an administrator can create user accounts.

We recommend using pre-existing network domains instead of private domains to minimize maintenance of multiple accounts and to leverage pre-existing security policies that your organization already has in place.
