Hello Siva,

please find this link:

you can create a new user and give him the admin privilege.

I don't think the the OS password can be changed.

Hi I have the same question but in Call Manager 8.6.2... I tried to search by Internet and other forums, papers, etc..  and I did not get nothing clear. I think that Administrator Username (OS admin/Disaster/CLI) can not  be change by us. Probably Cisco TAC in the root or something that, I don´t know. My last question if I create a new account with privilege 1 (advanced), this account can do the same in (OS admin/Disaster/CLI) that account created at the start of installation?  this account or username regarding command "show account" has privilege 4...  please somebody feedback to us about it?.... thanks a lot..

See the installation guide. Table 2 under the "Server Installation Information" section.

Parameter	Description	Can Entry Be Changed After Installation?
Administrator ID	This field specifies the administrator account user ID that you use for secure shell access to the CLI, for logging into Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration and for logging into theDisaster Recovery System.	No, you cannot change the entry after installation. Note    After installation, you can create additional administrator accounts, but you cannot change the original administrator account user ID.

Basically, you cannot change the OS/platform administrator ID after install. You can change the password (as you have already found).

Sorry if this was answered, but I didnt see it;  how do you add an Admin account to log into OS Administration/Disaster Recovery/etc? 

Is there any way to assign a regular end user with the rights for this?  I believe not.  Im also assuming I should NOT make my new OS admin name the same as an end user's name?

Hello William ,

I appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

1. we are using administration account to log in to the GUI of CuCM ,...and  we have few people using same credential to log in to the GUI. We are planning to create a user name for each person with same privilege as administration account. How we can do that?

2.Does it work in version 7 and below ?

Give the Standard CCM Admin Users role to give them access to CUCM admin page. Complete details about various other roles and groups available in CUCM can be found in below document:

Thanks.Can not open the page.

Can we create local userID in Version 7 and give the Standard CCM Admin Users role to give them access to CUCM admin page ?

[Jaime Valencia]

Yes, assuming you're not LDAP integrated, in anything below CUCM 9.x it's either ALL local users, or ALL LDAP users, not both at the same time.

What about Unity Connections and UCCX ? can we apply same concept for both?

[Samuel T Mathai]

yes. for Unity u just need to give system administrator or technician roles in the user. Uccx is similar add admin or other to user account.
