The learn user ID does not have to be a real, existing user in your system. The Blackboard interface requires this field to be completed, but Chalk & Wire does not act on behalf of this user.

7. Always set the Authorized To Act As User option to: Service Default (No)
It is very important to leave this option set to No.
