Hello, I tried to rename my hesk administration folder from "admin" to "adminwhatever" for security purposes and it sounds like it works.

Is it supposed to work ?
Does anybody has already experienced it on a long way ?

Many thanks for your answers !

Yes, it is safe (and even recommended) to do so.

Just make sure you change the "Admin folder:" variable in HESK settings (Help Desk tab) to the new folder name so that email notification links are generated properly.
