    • change admin user name

    Posted by runnin posts: 2
    Where can I, or can I, change the admin username from 'admin' to what I want? Or do I just have to create an altogether new user to personalize my user to me?

    Hi,
    famed as impossible, but not out of sight.
    That was my first wish in tikiwiki, my first tikiwishi 😀
    Having half the work done for crackers is unpleasant.
    let's make a party !
    tikily yours

    Okay, so it's not currently available? I've fished through the tables, and I'm seeing several user tables, etc... where would 'admin' be referenced so that I can go through and just change all admin references to my username?

    Thanks...

    DO NOT RENAME the admin user account, or you will loose all your recovery and upgrade options.

    Instead you need to create a group in Admin->Groups called Site Admins, then add tiki_p_admin to that group, then add your username into that group.

    Only TikiPro (http://www.tikipro.org) supports changing the admin login name. TikiWiki will not run correctly!
