This user can assign users to roles, including the HPCAdmin role (for LDAP/PAM users).

This is the "auth.defaultUser.password" specified when MWS Server was installed. This information is stored in the /opt/mws/etc/mws-config.groovy file.
Path Path prefix of the Moab Web Services URL. This will almost always be "/mws/".

This is the "OAuth clientId" specified when Viewpoint was installed. This information is stored in the /opt/mws/etc/mws-config.groovy file.
