Hi,

From the guide Managing IdM users, groups, hosts, and access control rules, in the section The different group types in IdM [1]:
----- 8< -----
Warning

Do not delete the admins group. As admins is a pre-defined group required by IdM, this operation causes problems with certain commands.

----- >8 -----

and in the same guide, section User life cycle [2]:

----- 8< -----

Warning

Do not delete the admin user. As admin is a pre-defined user required by IdM, this operation causes problems with certain commands. If you want to define and use an alternative admin user, disable the pre-defined admin user with ipa user-disable admin after you granted admin permissions to at least one different user.

HTH,

Is it possible to use a different name than 'admin' for the admin account. Same name change need for the admins group.
