Should I keep the truenas_admin user?

TrueNAS General

… or should I delete it?

From the docs:

The default TrueNAS administrator account name changes from admin to truenas_admin in TrueNAS 24.10 (Electric Eel) fresh installations.

I have a separate “Full Admin” account that I use for the WebUI.

My root and truenas_admin accounts are both passwordless and ssh-disabled; I sudo from my main account whenever necessary.

Does truenas_admin get any special treatment by the system? Any reason to keep it?

Having import my previous config from Core into a fresh Scale install, the truenas_admin has been deleted: despite some initial trouble setting up a new non root user (at the time i didn’t set a valid home folder for this user) everything Is working fine… So i can suppose Is not mandatory until you have another admin user
