### Admin user account configuration
There are three variables that are customizable for the admin user account creation.
| Name | Description | Default |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| admin_user | Name of the admin user | admin |
| admin_email | Email of the admin user | test@example.com |
| admin_password_secret | Secret that contains the admin user password | Empty string |
> :warning: **admin_password_secret must be a Kubernetes secret and not your text clear password**.
If `admin_password_secret` is not provided, the operator will look for a secret named `<resourcename>-admin-password` for the admin password. If it is not present, the operator will generate a password and create a Secret from it named `<resourcename>-admin-password`.
To retrieve the admin password, run `kubectl get secret <resourcename>-admin-password -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 --decode ; echo`
The secret that is expected to be passed should be formatted as follow:
```yaml
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: <resourcename>-admin-password
namespace: <target namespace>
stringData:
password: mysuperlongpassword
```
### Secret Key Configuration
This key is used to encrypt sensitive data in the database.
| Name | Description | Default |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| secret_key_secret | Secret that contains the symmetric key for encryption | Generated |
> :warning: **secret_key_secret must be a Kubernetes secret and not your text clear secret value**.
If `secret_key_secret` is not provided, the operator will look for a secret named `<resourcename>-secret-key` for the secret key. If it is not present, the operator will generate a password and create a Secret from it named `<resourcename>-secret-key`. It is important to not delete this secret as it will be needed for upgrades and if the pods get scaled down at any point. If you are using a GitOps flow, you will want to pass a secret key secret.
The secret should be formatted as follow:
```yaml
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: custom-awx-secret-key
namespace: <target namespace>
stringData:
secret_key: supersecuresecretkey
```
Then specify the secret name on the AWX spec:
```yaml
---
spec:
...
secret_key_secret: custom-awx-secret-key
```
