Admin stores settings related to the administration settings for Untangle.

== Admin Accounts ==

This table stores the administration accounts that can administer Untangle.
Administrators have full administrator/root access to the Untangle server.

By default, there is only one ''admin'' account with the password set during the [[Setup Wizard]].
Other accounts can be created. This can be useful in a few scenarios:

* if you have multiple administrators and you wish to be able to distinguish who logged in at what time.
* you want to be able to easily disable/enable access for an administrator without changing the ''admin'' password.

Additional administrator accounts are also administrators. They also have full administrator/root access.

== Allow HTTP Administration ==

If ''Allow HTTP Administration'' is checked, administration will be allowed on HTTP (unencrypted) on the primary address of non-WAN interfaces via each non-WAN interface on the port configured in [[Services]]. If unchecked then administration will not be allowed on HTTP, only on HTTPS.

''Note:'' Unchecking ''Allow HTTP Administration'' does not actually close the HTTP port as this service is used for other functions like blockpages, [[Captive Portal]], etc.

''Note:'' HTTPS on WANs access is controlled in [[Config]] > [[Network]] > Advanced > [[Filter Rules]] > [[Filter Rules#Input Filter Rules|Input Filter Rules]]. To enable, HTTPS administration on WANs (external) check the ''Allow HTTPS on WANs'' rule.
