Secure the piadmin account

Each Data Archive server has an administrator account called piadmin. This account has permission to do anything on the PI System, regardless of security settings. For a secure environment, do not use the piadmin account.

If you must use the piadmin account, we recommend disabling explicit logins for this account (Disable explicit logins for individual user accounts). If you are not ready to disable explicit logins for piadmin, at least create a password for the account.
