This new account will default to membership within the local Users group. If the Default User profile settings are changed from those set at the factory, the changed settings are automatically applied to any newly created user profile-local or domain.

The user's actions are still limited while the user is in the Power Users group. The Administrator may also want to apply specific Windows policies to the new account to restrict certain actions or behaviors. CAUTION: Because of the limited size of flash memory, HP strongly recommends that you configure other applications available to the new and existing users to prevent writing to the local file system. For the same reason, HP also recommends that you exercise extreme care when changing configuration settings of the factory-installed applications. ENWW User Accounts 13

User Manager
User Manager is a utility that allows the administrator to create, delete, and maintain user accounts.
User Profiles
A new user’s profile is based on the Default User profile template, which includes policies similar to
the factory-defined Administrator account. This new account will default to membership within the
local Users group. If the Default User profile settings are changed from those set at the factory, the
changed settings are automatically applied to any newly created user profile—local or domain. Any
local accounts created or cached domain accounts logged into this device prior to changes made to
the Default User profile are unaffected by these changes—only accounts logged in or cached after
the changes.
For a new user to match the characteristics of the pre-defined User account, the Administrator must
add the new user to the Power Users group; otherwise the new user will not be able to add a local
printer. The user's actions are still limited while the user is in the Power Users group. The
Administrator may also want to apply specific Windows policies to the new account to restrict certain
actions or behaviors.
CAUTION:
Because of the limited size of flash memory, HP strongly recommends that you
configure other applications available to the new and existing users to prevent writing to the local file
system. For the same reason, HP also recommends that you exercise extreme care when changing
configuration settings of the factory-installed applications.
