Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Would it be possible to extend this module to hide the administrator user (uid 1) completely from a site?
- Who's online block
- Who's new block
- Have /admin/user/user not make any reference of user or role "administrator" (I have defined another role which will be able to create new users using the "administerusersbyrole and role_delegation modules, this role can access the admin/user/user page where a filter can be chosen based on "administrator" role).
- /user/1 should redirect to "access denied page" not the current user's details (/user)
I have seen several solutions on doing this by altering core files, but it would be nice if one module could do this cleanly.

Looking for a way to hid user1 from the system without hacking core.
Comment #2
Elder Brother commented+1, would be great to have user1 completely removed from user list.
Comment #3
ki commentedAdded code to provide its own version of "Who's new" and "Who's online" blocks. The code is identical to user module's except that it hides user one.
Denying access to user one's profile (/user/1) is already implemented.

Anonymous (not verified) commentedIn the user list website/admin/user/user user1 is stil on the list, viewing and editing (selectors in the setting of user one) is not possible: thats ok!
It would be nice to have a 3th selector 'remove (hide ) user 1 out of the userlist'.
