How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

User names here follow classic Unix conventions, which is initials. So just like it’s rm and ls and not remove and list, our users are called ag, dlm, daqb etc. depending on whether they have two, three or four initials. Even the admin user can’t be called admin, because usernames arbitrarily must have a length of six characters or more.
This seems to be an entirely bogus restriction that should be lifted.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

@rcfa commented on GitHub (Dec 25, 2025):

To clarify: I'm talking about the initial account setup.
Interestingly enough, once the account exists, one can edit the user name to be shorter, and once logged in as admin user, one can create new users with shorter names, which shows that the restriction to six letters or more in the initial setup is bogus, as there's obviously no such restriction in the system.
