Hi
I'm testing Alfresco and it looks great :wink:
Can I restrict the permissions of the admin user? I want to have some space in a project with sensitive information that only HR manager can see it. To hide it from other "normal" users is easy with "Manage Space Users". But can I hide it from the system administrator?
Thanks

In a nutshell, no. All administrators (which by default is just the "admin" user) bypass all permission checks in the system, and therefore always have full access to everything, all of the time.
Now this isn't an issue per se, since normally no one should be using the "admin" login anyway - each user should have their own unique (non-administrator) login (this includes IT / support staff). You can help to guarantee this by changing the admin user's password to something obscure and not sharing it with anyone.
Cheers,
Peter
