Users¶
All users must have a valid account in infoRouter before they can access the system (except Anonymous users). User accounts are stored in infoRouter's security database.
User Identity
Your user account identifies you to both the system and other users. Only users with valid accounts can be granted permissions within the document and folder security framework.
User Types¶
infoRouter supports four types of users:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Regular Users | Full-featured accounts with assigned credentials |
| Anonymous Users | Unauthenticated access to public content |
| Read Only Users | Can view but not modify content |
| Local Users | Accounts limited to a single library |
Regular Users¶

Anonymous Users¶
Anonymous users exist automatically when Anonymous Libraries are created — they are not individually created.

Local users are ideal for external parties (clients, vendors) who need access to a specific project library but should not see other organizational content.
