 Description   

The only place the operation of the globalAuthUsername/globalAuthPassword is documented seems to be in the conf file (eg. monitoring-agent.config):

#
# The global authentication credentials to be used by the agent.
#
# The user must be created on the "admin" database.
#
# If the global username/password is set then all hosts monitored by the
# agent *must* use the same username password.
#
# Example usage:
#
# globalAuthUsername=yourAdminUser
# globalAuthPassword=yourAdminPassword

Amend the OnPrem and Cloud MMS documentation to explicitly state that these values override everything rather than act as a default.
