Demo Users

Introduction

Demo users are a demonstration of each user role existing in your app. You can use demo users to test what your app looks like for each user role or to demonstrate your app to other people (for more information, see the Testing Your App via Demo Users section).

When the application is started for the first time, the specified demo users are created automatically.

The demo users are only created and shown when running your application locally on your development machine, or when running in a Free App environment.

To access demo users and their properties, open Project Security > Demo users:
