Does admin username have to be admin?

posts: 24

Hi folks,

I am and will be the only user of my tikiwiki website, which is run locally (as a sort of intranet) to help me in what I do. There will never be any other users, so I'm fine with using the admin account and password protection.

But... it's really not a big deal, but I would like to be able to login with another username than admin. I've tried creating a new account with 100% priviledges, but for some reason it won't get complete priviledges and therefore it won't work.
So I thought... why not go through everything in the db and change admin to the username I want? But that didn't work either.

Anyone got an idea?

No.

Create yourself a new group called SiteADmins or whatever, give that group tiki_p_admin and assign that group to any qty of users.

Much nicer to see a name rather than admin around a site wink

Well, that was definitely a case of not paying attention or being too lazy :-)
That was easy, thanks a lot.
