Groovix Accounts

Standard Accounts

Account:        gvuser
The gvuser account acts identical to logging in as a patron barcode and PIN. The gvuser account is unique in that the log-in credentials are stored locally on the PC; this means a user can still log in without a network connection or when the network is down. It is recommended to use the gvuser account when there is no network connection or when non IT staff need to log into a workstation without administrative privileges.

Account:        gvadmin
The gvadmin account is local, like gvuser but has the traditional GNOME desktop with none of the lockdown or restrictions of the Groovix desktop; this account also includes links to Admin tools, etc. There is no need to log in as gvadmin unless directed to do so or you specifically need access to certain administrative tools.

Account:        groovixtemplateuser
The groovixtemplateuser account is used solely for the purpose of making changes to the public user environment.

Other Accounts

Account:        root
The root account is the main local admin account. Root should only be used in a command line interface like xterm or via an SSH.

Account:        staff
This account is used for all Groovix web functions, such as PACmon and the Groovix Dashboard for staff Administration.

Note: The gvadmin and groovixtemplateuser accounts do not delete changes made in-between logouts; make sure to always close Firefox before logging out of a session with these accounts.
