You will use your own Xurrent instance to complete the exercises of this training. You can access your instance at 4me-demo.com by entering the name and password of the instance. Once you have accessed your instance, select the Xurrent account of Widget Data Center.
If you do not yet have access to a Xurrent instance, you can request one on the Xurrent website.
Next, log in as Howard Tanner. Howard is the IT manager of the Widget Data Center organization.
| Howard’s email address is: | howard.tanner@widget.com |
| His Xurrent password is: | 4me |
All passwords in your training instance have been set to 4me. For training purposes we use easy to remember passwords, since you will switch users with different roles quite often during the exercises. The passwords do not reflect the strict password requirements Xurrent has for its own employees, nor the requirements your organization will set in the Xurrent system for you.
Make sure you verify the settings of your training instance when it has been used by someone else. Go to the Settings console (5th icon in the toolbar). In the left pane at the bottom you will find the menu options 'Instance Options' and 'Instance Reset'. Click on 'Instance Options' to enter your email address in the Forwarding email address field. Click on the 'Instance Reset' menu option to reinitialize the data in your demo instance.
Now that you are logged in as Howard, you are able to use the Xurrent user interface to look up the data you will be working with.
Howard has the Account Administrator role of the following Xurrent accounts:
- Widget Data Center
- Widget Europe – IT
- Widget N. America – IT
- Widget Data Protection
- Widget International (Directory account)
He also has all other roles of the ‘Widget Data Center’ account. This gives Howard a lot of access within the Xurrent user interface. These access rights are also available to Howard when he uses the Xurrent APIs.
