Hi All,

We now allow the creation of a primary account at startup and this account can be named admin if required. However, if this primary account is not named admin, wsas attempts to create an admin account itself on server start, and this is being deleted as it is redundant.

The problem is that if a normal user by the name of 'admin' is created, it would be deleted the next time the server is started. I can simply prevent this deletion from taking place, but it doesn't feel right, because the decision was that there will be no default 'admin' user and a normal user called admin will cause confusion as admin's privileges are assumed.

One compromise is to have a checkbox in the user creation page, which grants any newly created user admin privileges. With this, a user called 'admin' can be created by the primary user, with all the implied privileges, so it's a basic role management feature. Is this OK or is there another solution?

Bye,
Channa.
