Demo Users

Demo users are test accounts created for development and testing. They appear on the login screen when demo users are enabled, allowing quick access without manual user setup.

CREATE DEMO USER

CREATE DEMO USER '<username>' PASSWORD '<password>'
  [ENTITY <Module>.<Entity>]
  (<UserRole> [, ...]);

Parameter	Description
`<username>`	Login name for the demo user
`<password>`	Password (visible in development only)
`ENTITY`	Optional. The entity that generalizes `System.User` (e.g., `Administration.Account`). If omitted, the system auto-detects the unique `System.User` subtype.
`<UserRole>`	One or more project-level user roles to assign

Examples

-- Basic demo user
CREATE DEMO USER 'demo_admin' PASSWORD 'Admin123!' (Administrator);

-- With explicit entity
CREATE DEMO USER 'demo_admin' PASSWORD 'Admin123!'
  ENTITY Administration.Account (Administrator);

-- Multiple roles
CREATE DEMO USER 'demo_manager' PASSWORD 'Manager1!'
  (Manager, Reporting);

-- Standard user
CREATE DEMO USER 'demo_user' PASSWORD 'User1234!' (Employee);

DROP DEMO USER

DROP DEMO USER '<username>';

Example:

DROP DEMO USER 'demo_admin';

Enabling Demo Users

Demo users only appear on the login screen when enabled in project security:

ALTER PROJECT SECURITY DEMO USERS ON;

To hide them:

ALTER PROJECT SECURITY DEMO USERS OFF;

Listing Demo Users

SHOW DEMO USERS;

Typical Setup

-- Enable demo users and set prototype security
ALTER PROJECT SECURITY LEVEL PROTOTYPE;
ALTER PROJECT SECURITY DEMO USERS ON;

-- Create demo accounts for each role
CREATE DEMO USER 'demo_admin' PASSWORD 'Admin123!'
  ENTITY Administration.Account (Administrator);
CREATE DEMO USER 'demo_user' PASSWORD 'User1234!'
  ENTITY Administration.Account (Employee);
CREATE DEMO USER 'demo_guest' PASSWORD 'Guest123!'
  ENTITY Administration.Account (Guest);
