The DataForge system can be used immediately after installation if the project’s data migration requirements are simple and a single user will access the system and manage the migration project.

 

The default login is:

 

• Username: [email protected]
• Password: dataforge

 

All user actions are recorded for auditing purposes. If you require granular accountability, it is recommended that the Administrator set up user accounts for all project staff before data migration begins. 

 

Two types of user accounts with different authorization levels can be created:

 

• Administrator Role: Authority to oversee and alter all job parameters
• Data Engineer Role: Authority to  perform migration tasks, including to start, stop, and monitor jobs

 

The Users page allows administrators to create or change the organization name, and to update current users.

To create Administrator and Data Engineer accounts, perform the following steps:

 

• Click the Settings menu icon in the upper right corner of the main screen
