Any way to change "admin" Username?

[WhyCheese]

Changing default “admin” username would increase security. Is it complicated process?

[eris]

No. Currently not possible

You can create a second user, give him admin rights and disable the login of the current admin user.

@Raphael - ** disable the login of the current admin user. **
I thought the default user name ’ admin ’ is required & should be enabled for Hestia’s backend process…

[Raphael]

disable from login on hestiacp doesnt mean that the admin user is disabled at all - crons are still working, you just have for login a separated admin user.

But for now all the cronjob and depends on it… to be present

Excellent suggestion.
I think this should be incorporated into the default install routine.

Hello, happy new year to all.
I want to re-enable the admin login in hestia, how can I do it?
I have created a new admin user but I need to allow the original admin hestia.
Thank you very much for your work

Sorry, I’ve had a better look and checked your solution and it works.
Thank you

But users with administrator permissions that are not the admin user seem to not have access to system settings?

[eris]

There is an setting in the settings to enable it (Do it as admin user first)

Hello, I think if the new admin you have created is assigned system plan, there is no problem accessing the important settings… as a suggestion.

Thanks for Hestia
