Deleting and suspending system administrators

1. Launch the Delphix Setup application and log in using the sysadmin (or another system administrator) credentials.

2. In the User panel, click the user you want to suspend or delete.

3. Suspend the user by clicking the pause icon

Suspending the sysadmin user

The sysadmin user is a required user for the Delphix Engine. This user cannot be deleted but can be suspended. Suspending the sysadmin user prevents that user from being able to log into Delphix Setup or to the console via ssh.

2. In the User panel, click on the name of the user you want to reinstate.

Changing system administrator passwords

1. Launch the Delphix Setup application and log in using sysadmin level credentials.

2. In the User panel, click the user whose password you want to change.

   

3. Select the Edit icon.

4. Enter the new password fields.

   

5. Click Save.

Adjust session timeout (command-line only)

Delphix> user
Delphix user> select sysadmin
Delphix user 'sysadmin'> ls
