Passwords and security on K2 systems

To provide a basic level of security, K2 systems recognize four different security levels based on
Windows users and groups, and the systems ship from the factory with accounts pre-con gured
accordingly. To access the system you must login with the username and password for one of the
pre-con gured accounts.
The following table shows the different types of K2 users and their privileges. Passwords are case
sensitive. The term unknown user applies to any user who logs in to the K2 System without using
the Windows administrator, K2 administrator, or K2 user login and password

The unknown user, like all others who access the K2 system, must have a valid Windows login for the K2 client or the
control point PC through which the K2 system is being accessed.
