Delete/remove admin user from Nexus 5k/7k/9k

[vinayjaiswal]

Hi..

We wanted to delete admin user from our nexus switches, but from the discussion, I understand that we can not delete or remove this admin user.

Is there any other option to restrict this admin user access??  No one can access,read-write with this access.

Thanks in adavance.

Regards,

Vinay

The "admin" user account should be looked at like the "root" user in Linux. You should create a password for admin and then not use it as an account that is accessed regularly, unless absolutely necessary.

If you want to create a "super-user" create a new local user with admin privileges or restrict that user accordingly. You are not able to modify "admin" by design.
