# Return WordPress administrator account

`GET /WPX/get_admin_account`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://cpanel-server.tld:2083/execute`
- URL: `https://cpanel-server.tld:2083/execute/WPX/get_admin_account`
- Auth: HTTP basic

This function returns the WordPress administrator account details for an
installation that the caller owns: the administrator logins, the first
administrator's display name and email address, and the login URL. The
WordPress administration settings form uses it to fill in current values.

  **Note:**

  - The stored WordPress password is never returned. Use
    `change_admin_password` to set a new one, and `get_credentials` to sign
    in without a password.
  - The system verifies that the caller owns the installation before it
    reads anything.
  - When the installation has no WordPress administrator, the
    `current_user_id` field is `null`, the other text fields are empty
    strings, and the `available_logins` field is an empty array. A failure
    to read the administrator list is different: it returns a failure
    status with a message in the `errors` field.
  - The active WordPress language is not part of this response. Use
    `set_language` to change it.
