Can the user "admin" be disabled in the menu "/user"?

The user "admin" in MikroTik is a default user account that comes with the RouterOS. This account has unique privileges that are crucial for managing the router. Specifically, the admin account cannot be disabled through the menu options available in the RouterOS interface, including the "/user" menu. This design ensures that there is always at least one account with full access to the system, maintaining a level of security and reliability in network management.

In contrast, other user accounts can indeed be disabled or removed, provided they do not possess the necessary privileges. However, the admin account's special status prevents it from being disabled, ensuring continued access to critical router functions regardless of any changes made to other user accounts. This characteristic is vital for administrators to reliably manage their devices without losing access inadvertently.
