Originally created by @dacrudg on GitHub (Oct 2, 2024).

Description

auth.go:570:createUserInContext() [E] CreateUser: name is reserved [name: admin]

Why can't we create a user named admin? This causes issues with my SSO setup where I use "admin" across all services, so now Gitea breaks when I login with SSO it tries to create that user and fails.

Gitea Version

1.19.0 and 1.22.2

Can you reproduce the bug on the Gitea demo site?

Yes

Log Gist

No response

Screenshots

No response

Git Version

Operating System

No response

How are you running Gitea?

Myself in docker

Database

MySQL/MariaDB

There is a reserved list
9fd8b2621f/models/user.go (L715)

Probably to protect their usage elsewhere. There is an issue to permit some flexibility over this

This user name was reserved because of the router conflicts. /admin now will display the administrator console. But maybe we can use /-/admin instead.

That would be great! And much appreciated
