Managing the superuser account

The superuser is the user who is assigned the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus SUPERUSER role. The SUPERUSER role provides the user with access to all IBM Spectrum Protect Plus functions.

When you log on to IBM Spectrum Protect Plus for the first time, you must log on with the username admin and the password password. You are then prompted to change this username and password. This process creates the superuser who is assigned the SUPERUSER role.

The following considerations apply to the superuser:
  • There is only one superuser account.
  • You cannot delete the superuser account.
  • You cannot assign the SUPERUSER role to any additional user accounts that you create. You can create other accounts for administration purposes and assign the SYSADMIN role to those accounts.
