Deephaven Enterprise automatically creates a user named `iris` when installed. This user has full administrative privileges. You can create your own admin user with the same special access as the `iris` user.

Run these commands on your infrastructure node:

```bash
sudo -u irisadmin /usr/illumon/latest/bin/dhconfig acl user add --name dh_admin --group iris-acleditors iris-schemananagers iris-superusers
sudo -u irisadmin /usr/illumon/latest/bin/dhconfig acl user set-password --name dh_admin
```

This creates a superuser named `dh_admin` that has administrative privileges.
