Predefined Administrative User and Group

There is a special, predefined user named admin that can perform any administrative action. You cannot grant or revoke any permissions to admin. You must assign a password for admin immediately after installation.

For more information about changing the admin password, see When You First Start tibemsadmin.

There is also a special group named $admin for system administrator users. When a user becomes a member of this group, that user receives the same permissions as the admin user. You cannot grant or revoke administrator permissions from any user that is a member of the $admin group. You should only assign the overall system administrator(s) to the $admin group.
