Guys-

A simple explanantion for the admin user requirement is that the CMS Security 
Engine, is built to provide unix like access control to resources stored in the 
cms (read,write,manager) to users and groups of users (we call roles in portal 
lingua).

Now, the 'admin' user is designated as what we call 'root' in the Unix world. 
The reason being, say you have your security policy fudged up, and no one can 
access the system, someone with access to the 'admin' account, can go in and 
fix things without any restrictions. However, just like the root user, admin 
user information should be kept secret.

Now, I will have to look and see if 'root' designation can be made configurable 
to any user you suggest instead of the core 'admin' user that is selected in 
the code.

I will update the JIRA task with details on the fix.

Thanks again
