Disable admin user creation?

Hi,

I am running Virtualmin/Webmin on a Mac, and wish to disable the creation of a new administration user and group when a new virtual server is created. However, I can't find any way of achieving this in the settings. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jamie

Howdy,

It's the normal behavior to create a new user to place a new top-level domain into.

What kind of setup were you envisioning?

If you don't need a new user for each domain, would a Sub-Server do the trick for you?

You could create one of those by going into Create Virtual Server, and choose Sub-Server. That would place that new domain underneath an existing user.

To add to Eric's correct hint, the parent server you use to put your domains under doesn't even need to be an actual domain that is being served. It can be a "dummy server" which does nothing except provide a user account for your subservers.
