Hi Everyone,
We have a production DMS (10 DMA) running Dataminer 10 that was installed long ago with the Windows Administrator enabled. Now due to security concerns and best practices we need to disable that account.
The expected result is something like this:
- Disable the Windows Administrator account entirely
- Create a new Windows Administrator (with a different name) for OS access and maintenance.
- Use a Dataminer user (Not Administrator) as the main "built-In" account to manage and administrate the whole DMS.
If this was a Brand-new install, we could choose another account as the Dataminer built-in, However, the system is in production, and that the DMS is synchronized with the (now active) Administrator account:
- Is this even possible?
- What should we consider when executing the change?
- Is there any difference between the Dataminer built-in account during install and any other Dataminer administrator created after?
Hi Arturo,
During installation it's possible to already configure a user with all rights which you can use to log in on the system. This doesn't mean that this user will become the DataMiner built-in admin user.
This is new information, I always thought that was the case.
Thanks for clarifying!
