+# Default User
+
+Currently, we have one `main user`, also called `default user`, or `admin`. All the others are `regular users`.
+
+The default user is the first created user within the install routine.
+
+## Manage
+
+The default user is always an administrator.
+
+It is impossible to demote or disable the user.
+
+## Anonymous reading mode
+
+The default user is used for the anonymous reading.
+
+How to enable the anonymous reading mode:
+* go to settings `Administration` → `Authentication`
+* enable the checkbox of `Allow anonymous reading of the default user's articles`
+* when no user is logged in then the feeds of the default user is shown
+
+## Change the default user
+
+There is no UI for changing the default user, but a CLI (`./cli/reconfigure.php --default_user YourNewAdmin`) is provided. It can also be changed manually by editing the text file `./FreshRSS/data/config.php` and changing `'default_user' => 'alice'`, to the desired user.
