The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This module describes the default system accounts implemented by Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director for access and control of certain server functions. Aside from the admin account, these system accounts are generally separate from the user accounts that secure access to the Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director feature configuration and operation.
In addition, only a few of these accounts are intended for general modification after installation of the server. Other system accounts are reserved for special services or technical support and should not be modified unless you are instructed to do so, or you otherwise understand the impact to your server installation.
For information about user accounts and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director, see User Management in Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director.
All of the system accounts are automatically implemented upon installation of the Dynamic Signage Director software.
This section provides an overview of the default system accounts in Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director:
Table 1 describes the common system accounts for Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director that are intended for you to modify after deployment of your server, and on which server platform they are supported. These common system accounts are automatically implemented upon installation of the Dynamic Signage Director software.
