Changing the UMS Superuser

The UMS superuser is created initially during the installation of the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS). You can change the UMS superuser in the IGEL UMS Administrator.

You can also change the password of the UMS superuser in the IGEL UMS Web App, under User Management, see How to Change User Password in the IGEL UMS Web App .

Menu path: UMS Administrator > Datasource

The UMS superuser is needed for the first login to the UMS Console and for further configuration tasks, in particular, the definition of additional administrator accounts with restricted rights. The UMS superuser always has full access rights.

Changing the UMS superuser does not affect the user for database connections.

In an HA environment, changing the UMS superuser during operation can lead to issues when the servers are exchanging files. However, these issues are temporary.

1. Click Change next to the UMS superuser field.

2. Change the User name and Password for the UMS superuser and click OK.
