Getting set up as NC Admin

• This is easy enough, one of the existing Admins adds your account to the NextCloud "Admin" Group
• Unwanted emails avoidance
  • Unless NC has fixed it recently there is an automatic rule in the Registration module that all members of the NC Admin Group get sent an email to confirm that a new user has been created. No way of turning this off.
  • However what you can do is to create a rule in your email client (Protonmail etc) which automatically moves all such emails to a particular folder.
  • See this screenshot of the Select statement to identify all such emails
