Yes you’re right this is probably only for the Jetty/HSQLDB packaging (since when the
Admin user is created through the DW I guess it’s created as a simple user). But it’s even
more important in this packaging because that’s the demo package that users are supposed
to use to simply test xwiki and thus the UI should be as simple as possible for those
newcomers.
<side note>
We now have packaging stats: 30% of active users are using that packaging.

Hi,
A simple change that could improve the experience for newcomers would be
that the default Admin user to have a simple type.
One of the problems new users have is that they have too many options in
the Edit menu and this can be confusing.
The downside is that it will add an additional step for developers/testers
to change the user type back (or at least until we provide a Developer
user/profile).
Also we would need to make sure the documentation is up to date and fix the
tests.
WDTY?
You're talking about the jetty+hsqldb distribution (the "ZIP Package"
available on the download page)? Is this the most used / downloaded
distribution? Because the other distributions don't have the Admin user,
see
