Introduction
Learn how to configure authentication with Tracecat.
Default Admin User
Every new Tracecat deployment is created with a default admin user. This user owns the organization and has super admin rights to every workspace in the Tracecat deployment.
We highly recommend changing the default email and password immediately after login. See the following warning callout box for details:
We cannot stress this enough. Don’t forget to change the email and password of the default admin user in production!
The login the first time: default email is admin@domain.com and the default password is password.
