A system account named “Logged Off” will be found in every installation. This account serves the following purposes:
• All events logged when no other user is logged in will be attributed to the Logged Off account.
• Setting the privileges of this account directly changes the SysPrivDefault configuration variable in SecurityManager.ini. Thus, the Logged Off user accounts privileges are those granted to new users by default.
• These are also the privileges in effect when no other user is logged in. Take care not to open a security hole in your application by granting too many privileges to this user.
• The behavior of VTS Internet Connections (VIC) upon logging out depends on whether this user account has a password. If it does, the VIC connection remains active after user logout. If it does not, logging out of a VIC session will also close the connection to the server.
The Logged Off user account cannot be deleted. Also, no one can specifically log-in as this user.
