Can't Disable Old Admin Account

General General Questions
1

Sorry for the dumb question but this is somethng that has only been used once or twice. We have two admin accounts which do not have the enable-disable pulldown. One is no longer needed and has to be disabled. How can I do so without deleting? Thanks for any insights.

Log in the phpMyAdmin, find the corresponding account in the cscart_users table and replace the value in the is_root column from Y to N

Thanks. This would require API access? I don't see anywhere to edit the table.

phpMyAdmin is a tool to handle the administration of MySQL which usually can be found in the control panel of your server

I found phpMyAdmin and viewed the table, so I can change value of field “is_root” for that record at any time. I just needed to be sure I had access to all user settings, but I won't change settings I don't understand. I see root refers to mySQL server. Clearly I need some skills.

This setting means that this admin account is “super-admin”. It does not refer to mySQL server. On the clean installation only one super-admin is allowed. For some reason two accounts in your store are marked as root. You can change it
