I have all of framework, applications, and specialpurpose installed. I ran a seed install, not a demo install. There is no Party record for admin, ltdadmin, system; it seems wrong that no parties at all are created with only a seed install. Is the proper course of action, when setting ofbiz up in a production state, to do a seed install, then have any per-company component that sets up the needed extra accounts/entities? I'm just trying to get caught up here. Are you saying that you can do stuff, with only a UserLogin record existing, but no Party record?
