Main:AdminUser

Wiki Administrator User

The Main:AdminUser allows you to login without needing to register a user, or to temporarily login as Main:AdminUser using the password set in configure, and then log back out to the same User and Group as before.

If your system is configured using a !Main:UserMapper that permits group maintenance, (!Main:TopicUserMapping for example) it is recommended to include the %SYSTEMWEB%.Main:AdminToggle topic to obtain admin rights.

Prerequisites

• Security and Authentication -> Sessions : Use Client Sessions: must be enabled in configure (this is the default)
• Security and Authentication, -> Passwords : Internal Admin Password: must be set otherwise the internal admin user is automatically disabled. A password is not set by default.
• If your Foswiki is configured to use !Main:ApacheLoginManager, you will need to log in as a valid user first.

%X% Do not add Main:AdminUser to your .htpasswd file or other authentication system. You should only access the Main:AdminUser by logging in with the the internal admin user _admin_ using the password set under the Passwords tab in bin/configure script. Use the login link on this page, or log in directly with Template Login. Logging in with the Main:AdminUser !Main:WikiName through the normal authentication process will not work, and will not acquire admin rights.
