Create Users and Manage Rights
In the Raindancer portal, select Config on the left-hand side, then User
You should now be in the user overview. Here you should find the "Administrator" and a "Service" user
(and possibly a "Support-*" user)
The "Service" and "Support" user allows the Raindancer support team and your dealer to access your application to help you with your questions. If you do not want this, you can deactivate or delete the service user, but you will lose the opportunity to be quickly supported by us.
