 ======User Configuration======
-Vizy has a simple user-account system that allows the admin user to create new accounts and set permissions.  This is especially useful when your Vizy is configured for [[wiki:remote|Web Sharing]] -- it allows you to create accounts for others that restrict them from changing things like the currently running application, network configuration, etc.

 There are three types of accounts:
-  * **Admin** accounts have no restrictions.  With Admin access you can change, fix, and reconfigure whatever you like, but you can also potentially delete the entire file system (yikes!), so be careful.

-  * **User** accounts can access **Apps/examples**, **App Console**, and **System** (information only), but all other dialogs, shell, and text editor access are restricted.  User level access is a good balance between being able to explore, but not being able to make any changes that could adversely affect things.

   * **Guest** accounts can interact with the currently running application only.  Importantly, Guest accounts can't change the currently running application.
+===== Default accounts =====
+There are two default accounts that are enabled when you first receive your Vizy.
+  * Username: //admin//, Password: //admin//, Admin access
+  * Username: //guest//, Password: //guest//, Guest access
+===== User dialog =====
 To bring up the **User Configuration** dialog, select **Users** from the ☰ icon in the upper right corner (Settings Menu).

 From the dialog, you have three choices:
-  * Change the password or type of an existing account
+  * **Change** the password or type of an existing account
-  * Add user accounts
+  * **Add** user accounts
-  * Remove user accounts
+  * **Remove** user accounts

 The operation of these is fairly self-explanatory.  You will need to input the Admin password of the Admin account that's currently logged in for changes to take effect.
+===== Account information =====
+User account information is stored in ''/home/pi/vizy/etc/users.json'' -- passwords are hashed/encoded.  You can copy ''users.json'' files between Vizys if you wish to copy accounts.
