OK, my first RT system is up and running happily. Now that I have
populated it with some admin users I was wondering if it is allowable (or
suggested/discouraged) to remove the root user from rt? The main problem
seems to be that root is an admin on all of my queues (and I can’t remove
it), so I am getting duplicate email notification (root on the server
forwards to my personal account). Any lessons learned from experienced
would be appreciated.

Change root’s email address to ‘’ 
but having the root account is useful
so that root can perform actions within RT from the cli.On Tue, Feb 27, 2001 at 02:13:56PM -0600, Christopher Kolar wrote:

Nod. But user root really needn’t to exist - We use about three instances
of RT with more than 2 years w/o “root” account.
…After install just log in as root, make an rt-admin account with Admin
RT check box marked (empty e-mail address as written above) and log off.
Log in as the new rt-admin and you could delete the “root”. CLI is
accessible to you just after creation an UNIX account rt-admin - to use
it, you have to do “su rt-admin”, so given RT instance is a little
protected against possible mistake of real “root”.
