Changing the Admin Role

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

<pentaho-system>
  <acl-publisher>
    <default-acls>
      <acl-entry role="NewAdmin" acl="ADMIN_ALL" />
      ...

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

applicationContext-acegi-security.xml

Using the Acegi Security documentation (section 21.3) as your guide, modify the objectDefinitionSource property of the filterInvocationInterceptor bean to match the new admin group.

Warning: While the example below only shows a single url to role mapping, multiple lines in objectDefinitionSource refer to the administrative role and therefore must be changed too.

<property name="objectDefinitionSource">
  <value>
    <![CDATA[
    CONVERT_URL_TO_LOWERCASE_BEFORE_COMPARISON
    ...
    \A/admin.*\Z=NewAdmin
    ...
  ]]>
  </value>
</property>
