What services/packages are affected when I disable the default "admin" account?

Details

To prevent brute-force attacks and to enhance the security of your Synology NAS, we strongly recommend disabling the default "admin" account. Doing so does not have a major impact on DSM, unless you have previously configured packages and settings using the admin account. In this case, you may wish to retain data and settings from the admin account and transfer them to another administrator account before disabling the admin account.

This article provides an overview of services/packages that may be affected by disabling the admin account or may require additional configurations to transfer data. Click on the following service/package links for more information.
