-; If an OpenStack user with the same name as the admin user logs into
-; Grafana it overwrites user data in the Grafana database, breaking
-; the local admin account, and preventing admin API calls to Grafana. To
-; reduce the chance of this happening we rename the local admin user here.
-; Note that this only affects the Monasca fork of Grafana.
