When the Blackboard Learning System is installed three User accounts with admin privileges are created:
· Administrator
· root_admin
· integration
The Administrator account has full system Administrator privileges. This account, and the root_admin account are the only two accounts that can login until more users are created.
The password for the Administrator account is set during the installation of the Blackboard Learning System.
The root_admin account has full administrative privileges including the management of virtual installations through the System Control Panel. When the root_admin account views the System Control Panel the Manage Virtual Installations link appears at the top of the panel. The root_admin can login to any virtual installation and access the Virtual Installation management features from this link.
The password for this account is set during installation.
Note:
The root_admin account is created even if your license does not include the use of any virtual installations. The root_admin account can be modified from the Edit Root Administrator Profile page.
The integration user is used only to facilitate Blackboard Learning System Snapshot operations. This account cannot be used to login through the GUI nor does it appear in any lists of users on the GUI. To change the password for this account, use the Integration Password feature available on the System Control Panel.
The default password for the integration account is set at installation.
For more information on how the integration account is used during Snapshot processes, please see the Blackboard Learning System Advanced Integration and Data Management Manual.
