{quote*Be Careful:* In Pentaho security, role name case is important! A role named ADMIN is not the same as a role named Admin. For example, using the role named ADMIN when editing access control lists will not match a user who has been granted a role named Admin.{quote}

By default, the platform defines an administrative role called {{Admin}}. Use the steps below to change this value. For the examples below, assume that the new administrative role is called "{{NewAdmin}}."

h2. pentaho.xml

In {{pentaho.xml}}, update the {{admin-role}} element within the acl-voter element.

{code:xml}
<pentaho-system>
  <acl-voter>
    <admin-role>NewAdmin</admin-role>
    ...
{code}

Additionally, replace any references to the old administrative role within the {{default-acls}} element within the acl-publisher element.

 

{code:xml}
<pentaho-system>
  <acl-publisher>
    <default-acls>
      <acl-entry role="NewAdmin" acl="ADMIN_ALL" />
      ...
{code}

{quote}*Warning:* If you modify the {{acl-publisher}} element, you'll probably need to re-apply the default ACLs. Please see [Re-Applying Default ACL|Re-Applying Default ACL]. Be careful though as re-applying default ACLs will reset any ACLs created through the Admin Permissions interface.
