User defaultowner has first name Default and last name Owner. In the base configuration, PolicyCenter does not assign roles to this user.

If PolicyCenter cannot assign certain business objects to a specific user, PolicyCenter assigns that object to user defaultowner. PolicyCenter performs this assignment internally.

Important: Do not make direct assignments to user defaultowner.

Guidewire recommends, as a business practice, that someone in the organization periodically search for outstanding work assigned to user defaultowner. If the search finds one of these assignments, the searcher must reassign these items to a proper owner. Guidewire also recommends that the rule administrator investigate why PolicyCenter did not assign an item of that type and correct any errors in the rules.
