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). 

     

    1. Step 1: Create a new user in RapidMinerServer, the name is the username you'd like... ditto password.
    2. 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)
    3. Step 3: Log off RapidMinerServer and log back in with your new admin username. 
    4. 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?
