The same user can be a member of several groups.

Users who should have access to the administrative part of the server should be part of the "admin" group which is the only group with special permissions by default. The admin group already exists in a default setup of the CLC Bioinformatics Database.

You will always be able to log in as the CLC Bioinformatics Database root user, and this user has administrative level access rights.
