Access to CLIFF is controlled through user accounts. Before a person can sign in to CLIFF they must have a valid user name and password. The account information for a user defines what CLIFF functions they may access, their level of authority, and what Office(s) they belong to.

CLIFF has a few special accounts that you should be aware of:

• ADMINISTRATOR - This is a permanent account which is used for initial set-up of CLIFF. The ADMINISTRATOR account is the highest level of security in your Organization and provides full access to all functions and data in your Organization. This account should be used as a controlling account and not be used for day to day activities in CLIFF. You may assign administrator privileges to individual accounts as required.
• DEFAULT - This account defines the default configuration for new user accounts. You may customize the DEFAULT account with your organization's typical user configuration except for the user name, initials, and password.
