Default admin user restricted

Check ID
APP_0008

Category

Security

Summary

The default admin user (often known as 'MxAdmin') is automatically created in every Mendix app. This user enables emergency access to your app, and is used to create the first users in your app. The password for this user can be reset from the Mendix cloud. This user should never be used for daily management of your app and should only be used for creating users or granting user roles.

Options

This check does not have any options.

Pass

The module roles you have assigned to the default admin user role are restricted to Administration.Administrator and System.Administrator.

Fail

Modules roles other than Administration.Administrator and System.Administrator have been assigned to your default admin user.
