Atomic Scope uses Windows Authentication for the authentication mechanism. By default, whoever installs the Atomic Scope application will be automatically added as an administrator in the system. The administrator will have complete access to the atomic scope.
Once the application is installed the Administrator can add other users from the AD to the system using this page.
