A satisfactory alternative for our situation would be
to hide the Admin user
from all but users in the Admin group. That is a feature that I can see
coming in handy for other scenarios as well (for example, someone leaves the
organization but for some reason we don't want to remove them from the user
directory). I would envision adding a 'Hide' flag or an 'Expiry Date'
field
to the user profile to determine whether or not the user should be
displayed.
Does anyone have an idea as to how this could be accomplished?
First, note that you should perfectly be able to delete the admin user from your wiki and
everything should continue to work well.
There’s a very easy solution for this second question though. Just edit the admin user
profile page and set it as hidden. It won’t appear anymore in the user directory or other
places.

A complementary feature of course would be to prevent
the hidden user from
logging in. In our case, we are using Active Directory authentication so we
can take care of that outside of the xwiki software.
