Authentication

You can share notebooks publicly or with selected users.

Mercury Site can be shared as:

• Public Site - all notebooks are available publicly,
• Private Site - all notebooks are available only to users with access rights.

When developing locally with Mercury, there is a default Site created. It is public by default. There is a default user created with credentials:

• username: developer@example.com
• password: developer

You can edit default sharing parameters in Mercury Admin Panel.
