The Pentaho Pre-Configured Installation (PCI) includes sample data and a group of fictitious users. If you are new to Pentaho, you can use the Administration Console to manage real users (and roles) in the BI Platform without having to configure an LDAP-compliant directory such as MSAD (Microsoft Active Directory) while you are performing a proof of concept.
