CMKadmin account

Troubleshooting
1

Hi All,

I am using CheckMK enterprise edition and Raw edition, they are setup by previous colleague which has left.We use account “CMKadmin” to login to all the CheckMk web GUI. May I know if the account “CMKadmin” is a system default admin account, can it be deleted or changed ?

Hi Ming,

the user is a default account from Checkmk, if you want you can delete or change the password, but you should have a local admin account. :slight_smile:

You should have a local admin account— do you mean another local admin account? And cmkadmin can be deleted ? Just have one local admin account is enough, right ?

is it safe to delete the cmkadmin account ? will there any impact to the system? Thanks

No it is not recommended to delete the but as an Admin you can.
But why you want to delete the user? :slight_smile:

Hi, it’s requirement of out audit, the account cmkadmin includes the “admin” key word which reveals the access right, so we wonder if we can delete it . Thanks

if it’s not recommened to delete this account, it’s fine for us. We will just reply the audit the same.

I tested it for you if you do that the checkmk is broken. :frowning:
So no you should not delete the account! :slight_smile:
