ood morning, I have recently installed and configured a new DEBIAN 9 server with ISP CONFIG 3 for the latest release. Having created a new user with administrator privileges, I disabled the default "admin" user. I noticed, however, that the new user I created, despite being with administrative privileges, is not able to access certain functions, such as software updates and changes to the rights of other users. The underlying problem is that I can no longer re-enable the default "admin" user by having the following error message when trying to modify: Verify security permissions: admin_allow_new_admin failed How can I rehabilitate this admin account? Is there a shell procedure? On the server I also have root access if necessary. Daniele
dbispconfig > sys_user Find the line where username = "admin" sys_userid = 1 sys_groupid = 0 typ = admin active = 1 groups = 1,2 default_group = 1 This way you should be able to re-enable admin. If not: just re-install ispconfig
As a side note, you can change the username of the admin user to any name you want, so there is no reason to disable the admin user and create a new sub admin with lower permissions.
