Now such user will be able to work as admin: only, you will need to keep such role up-to-date with other roles' entitlements (for the stock admin user this is performed automatically) - as explained in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SYNCOPE/Authentication+and+authorization Alternatively, you'd need to change the logic in SyncopeUserDetailsService#loadUserByUsername to dynamically assign all available entitlements to a different user than admin.
