Suspending the sysadmin user

The sysadmin user is a required user for the Delphix Engine. You cannot delete this user, but you can suspend it. Suspending the sysadmin user prevents that user from being able to log into Delphix Setup or to the console via SSH.

  2. In the Dashboard > Users panel, click the user you want to enable.

Change system administrator passwords

  2. In the Dashboard > Users panel, click the user whose password you want to change.

  3. Click the Edit icon.

  4. The Edit User dialog box opens. Type a new password in the password fields.

  5. Click Save.

Your selected system administrator password is updated. An updated credentials action appears in the Finished Actions panel.

Adjust session timeout (CLI only)

You cannot configure the session timeout for System Setup users in the GUI. Adjust the session timeout via the CLI method using the following commands:

Copy 
Delphix> user
Delphix user> select sysadmin
Delphix user 'sysadmin'> ls
