This section describes the users that are created by default during the standard KonaKart installations. For more details on creating new stores and defining new users for these new stores, see the section in this User Guide on Multi-Store Configuration .
When you install the Community Edition, the following users are automatically created:
Three users are created with different roles assigned.

The above users remain after installing the KonaKart Enterprise Extensions but additional users are created for use with the second store (if one of the Multi-Store Modes is chosen). The above users remain with the same privileges they had originally and can log in to both the Application and the Admin App for store1 as before.
In addition, if and only if, the Multi-Store Single Database with Shared Customers Mode is selected, these users will be able to log on to the Applications for other stores managed by the KonaKart instance. Note that only the Super User user above ( admin@konakart.com ) is granted privileges to log on to the Admin App for the other stores This is the standard behavior when you opt to allow Shared Customers.
If Multi-Store Multiple Databases Mode is selected, the users created in store2 match those for store1 since the same data load is performed. In case you need to execute it manually, the SQL file executed is called konakart_demo.sql and can be modified (carefully!) to suit local requirements. A konakart_demo.sql SQL script file is provided for each of the supported databases under the database directory under your KonaKart home directory. In Multi-Store Multiple Databases Mode there is no support for shared customers so the users created are only authorized to log in to their own stores.
If Multi-Store Single Database Mode with Shared Customers is selected, the following user is created:
One user is created with the Store Administrator's role.

KonaKart Store Administrator |
By default the "Store Administrator" role allows the created user to administer the more business-related aspects of a specific store, but not the configuration settings. By "business-related" it means the store administrator user can maintain the products, manufacturers, categories (etc) and administer orders. The "Store Administrator" can log on to the application of any the stores managed by the KonaKart instance, but is not granted any privileges to administer any store other than the one assigned (which is store2 in this case).
In this mode there is no need to create a new "Super User" user as the original "Super User" created for the Community Edition, called admin@konakart.com , has sufficient privileges to Administer all other stores in a Shared Customer environment. Note the power of the "Super User"! Ensure that you change all the user passwords as soon as possible and deny access to the "Super User" account to all who who should not be able to use it.
If Multi-Store Single Database Mode without Shared Customers is selected, the following users are created by the installer:
One user is created with the Store Administrator's role.

KonaKart Order and Customer Manager |
By default the "Store Administrator" role allows the created user to administer the more business-related aspects of a store, but not the configuration settings. By "business-related" it means the store administrator user can maintain the products, manufacturers, categories (etc) and administer orders. This user can administer only the store he has been assigned and no others, because he isn't a "Super User".
In this non-customer shared mode, the "Store Administrator" cannot log in to the application of any other store (than the one that he is assigned to) managed by the KonaKart instance because the users aren't shared.
Also, in this mode, a new "Super User" user ( store2-super@konakart.com ) is created for administering the more-technical configuration settings of the new store. Note that this new user will have broad Super-User privileges by default. By default, this user will be able to log on and administer all of stores in the mall by virtue of being a "Super User". Some customers may decide not to disclose the credentials of this newly-created "Super User" account, whereas others may decide to change the role that is assigned to this "Super User". You can define the role to be assigned in the Multi-Store Configuration - see details on configuring Multi-Store.
