Note:
Do not create an account for an administrator that is identical to a user
account name. Do not create an end user account that is identical to an
administrator account name. If a naming conflict occurs, the administrator will
take precedence and the end user will be denied access to their account. In the
unlikely event that both the username and the password for an administrator and
an end user are identical, the end user will be granted access to the administrator
account.
