user2

User2 is a commonly used placeholder username in tutorials, sample data, and demonstration software. It serves as a stand-in for a real person to illustrate how user accounts function without exposing actual individuals.

In documentation and test environments, user2 often appears alongside other placeholders such as user1 and guest. It typically represents a non-administrative account used to demonstrate authentication, profile management, data access, and basic permissions within applications and services.

In data models and fixtures, user2 is given attributes like an identifier, a username, and sample contact information to show how records relate to roles, groups, or projects. The specific values vary by system but the role remains that of a standard user.

Because user2 is a synthetic marker, there are no privacy concerns in its use for training, testing, or documentation, provided that real identifiers are not substituted. When real data is involved, it should be anonymized or replaced with placeholders.
