OBI Presentation Service (Webcat) - User

About

User management for the presentation services (ie the webcat)

The “system account” is the user that is used when opening the catalog in offline mode with the catalog manager or runcat (ie local access)

After doing some user catalog manipulation, you may want to suppress the cache (Browser and Reload) otherwise you may get strange behavior.
