CLI Cookbook: Disabling an Admin User

The default domain user created on Delphix Engines is now admin instead of delphix_admin. When engines created before 5.3.1 are upgraded to 5.3.1 or later they will retain their old username 'delphix_admin'. To avoid complications Delphix recommends creating users with an admin role and then Disabling delphix_admin.

To disable your default admin.

  1. ssh into your engine

  2. Go to users and select admin.

  3. Select the default admin and use ‘disable’ command

  4. Commit the operation.

BASH
delphix.engine> user select admin
delphix.engine user 'admin'> disable
delphix.engine user 'admin' disable *> commit
delphix.engine user 'admin'>
