Firesight Management | Disable "admin" user account

[ccg-security]

Hi Cisco Support,

Is there a way to disable "admin" account on firesight management center? I've research about this and nothing to be found.

Thanks!

The admin account is a required built-in account. You can give it a very strong password and restrict access to the management network but you cannot disable it altogether.

Hi
Thanks you for the reply. Do you have a supporting documents for this? This is to defend our PCI-DSS.

Thanks!

Yes there is supporting documentation. Please see the following:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/quick_start/vmware/fmcv/FMCv-quick/setup-mcvirtual.html#84954

That reference states:

"You must change the password for the admin account. This account has Administrator privileges and cannot be deleted. "
