Rename or delete username admin

elgolubeva

Hello, Community!

I would like to ask you if it is possible to delete or rename username "admin" in RapidMiner Server?

It seems that deletion is impossible, but I need a confirmation.

Thanks in advance.

hello @elgolubeva - I believe so. I can't find the thread right now but this rings a bell.

Yes, I was on the previous thread discussing this. It was regarding if it is possible to have more than one admin account for RapidMiner Server rather than giving it a different name.

Previously I said "No, it's impossible you can't have two admin accounts as that would violate space time laws" and gave a pretty complex workaround.

Now I can tell you that it IS actually possible to create two admin accounts (and also likely change the admin username, although I'd personally recommend against this).

Step 1: Create a new user in RapidMinerServer, the name is the username you'd like... ditto password.
Step 2: Open the RapidMiner Repository in your favorite SQL editor and edit the following tables:
- ra_rel_group_user - this has two columns: userName, groupName. Add or Edit the table such that you have a row with groupName: admin, userName: newAdmin(your username)
- ra_rel_user_group - this has two columns: userName, groupName. Add or Edit the table such that you have a row with groupName: admin, userName: newAdmin(your username)
Step 3: Log off RapidMinerServer and log back in with your new admin username.
TaDa! Admin rights on a different username!

*Disclaimer: editing the repository in this way is a naughty thing to do and should only be done under supervision from a trained adult (who you can pass all responsibility to if it goes wrong). Also, please do not blame me if it breaks anything now/in the future.

hello @elgolubeva - welcome. That's a good question. I believe that you cannot delete "admin" but I would defer to @Edin_Klapic or others.

Scott,

thank you for your reply.

And is renaming also impossible?
