Wiki Administrator User
The Main:AdminUser allows you to login without needing to register a user, or to temporarily login as Main:AdminUser using the password set in configure, and then log back out to the same User and Group as before.
If your system is configured using a !Main:UserMapper that permits group maintenance, (!Main:TopicUserMapping for example) it is recommended to include the %SYSTEMWEB%.Main:AdminToggle topic to obtain admin rights.
