Understanding the default sysadmin user

When you install Black Duck, there is a default system administrator (sysadmin) account already configured. The default sysadmin user has all roles and permissions associated with it.

Tip: As a best practice, you should use the default sysadmin account for your initial log in and then immediately change the default password—blackduck—so that the server is secure. To change your password, select My Profile from your username/user profile icon in the upper right corner of the Black Duck UI.

To edit the default email address that is associated with the sysadmin user, go to the User Management page on the Black Duck UI, select the sysadmin user name, change the email address and save. To see the change, you must log out and log in again.

To access the User Management page, the user account that you use must have the User Administrator role, which is assigned, by default, to the sysadmin account. The main purpose of the email address is as a contact reference for the user account.
