Thanks for the explanation! I'm currently editing the Prelude OLH.
Nothing was previously stated explicitly about the default behavior for
the admin realm. There is a task to change the admin password but no
indication that there isn't one by default.
I do see that the Logout button appears when I add an admin user and
that I have to log in. I also see that by default I don't have to type a
password when I log in as "anonymous" (but I do when I log in as the new
admin user, for whom I specified a password).
I guess that the apparent vertical bar next to the Help button when
there's only the one admin user marks where the Logout button goes.
