text: **3.2.1 User types, authorities, and functions**
  
  Four types of users are available in a Content Manager OnDemand system. Each type has a 
  different level of access, authority, and responsibility in the system: 
  
  (cid:2) User: Logs in and queries the system to retrieve documents and reports for viewing. 
  
  (cid:2) User administrator: Adds users or other user administrators to the system. 
  
  (cid:2) Report administrator: Defines the application groups, applications, folders, and cabinets to 
  be part of the system. The report administrator is responsible for understanding the report 
  and document data and for defining the indexes to be extracted from the data and stored. 
  A report administrator is also responsible for designing the user interface to the reports 
  through the folder definition process and for controlling access authority to the reports that 
  the report administrator designs, indexes, and loads. 
  
  (cid:2) System administrator: Has the highest level of authority in a Content Manager OnDemand 
  system. The system administrator has authority for all system functions and can grant 
  other users the authority to perform various tasks. The system administrator is the only 
  level of authority that can create storage sets and define system printers. 
  
  When the administrative tasks and levels of authorities are understood, you must decide the 
  span of control in the system. Is it better to have one user control all access and functions in 
  the Content Manager OnDemand system, or is it better to spread the administrative tasks 
  among several users to smooth the workload based on system requirements? The answer to 
  this question depends on whether your environment uses centralized or decentralized 
  administrative control.
