What users are included in a new installation of SOAR?

Question

Options

• AThe admin and automation users are included by default.
• BThe admin, power, and user users are included by default.
• CNo users are included by default.
• DOnly the admin user is included by default.

• A
  90% (37)
• B
  5% (2)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

In a fresh SOAR installation, two built-in accounts are created automatically: the admin user (for administrative configuration) and the automation user (a service account used internally to execute playbooks and automated actions). This makes A correct.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is wrong because "power" and "user" role accounts are not pre-created - those are role types you assign when creating additional users manually.
• C is wrong because a completely empty installation would leave you unable to log in or run automations at all; the system bootstraps with the essentials.
• D is wrong because it omits the automation user, which is equally critical since SOAR's core function depends on it for executing automated workflows.

Memory tip: Think of the two defaults as "human + machine" - admin is for the human operator, automation is for the machine. A SOAR system without either one can't do its job out of the box.
