You can add multiple admins. The admin accounts are only used to access the maubot administration interface.
### Adjusting the maubot URL
By default, this playbook installs maubot on the `matrix.` subdomain, at the `/_matrix/maubot/` path (https://matrix.example.com/_matrix/maubot/). This makes it easy to install it, because it **doesn't require additional DNS records to be set up**. If that's okay, you can skip this section.
By tweaking the `matrix_bot_maubot_hostname` and `matrix_bot_maubot_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
Example additional configuration for your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
```yaml
# Change the default hostname and path prefix
matrix_bot_maubot_hostname: maubot.example.com
matrix_bot_maubot_path_prefix: /
```
## Adjusting DNS records
If you've changed the default hostname, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the maubot domain to the Matrix server.
See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md) for details about DNS changes.
