Description

After some bad experience (ours and from other users), Rick (Rick99) and I suggest:

RFE should be that the following username should not be changable or deletable:
  • admin


And the following groupnames should not be changable or deletable:

  • registered
  • anonymous


Additionally, there should be a usergroup administrator that has all permissions. This would allow Tiki-admins to easily create new Admin logins, with their own usernames.


added: ensure password reminder works out of the box

A couple of usability issues could be fixed here.

a) remind/reset passwords is off by default - should be on?
b) no email is set on admin by the installer

this would prevent most newbie lost admin password issues i think. - mlpvolt

Solution

The problem related to admin user and registered / anonymous groups has been fixed in 1.10.
Users must not change those groups names, but even in 1.10, the code have to be enhanced a bit more to handle the traduction of those group names in smarty templates.

fixed in 1.9.8
