How can I recover superuser access?

jgalvinjr

I tried to add a new Staff User today, but I think I overwrote my admin user instead. Stupid, I know. But since I thought I was adding a new User, I turned off superuser access, since I didn’t want this person to have it. But now I no longer have it.

How can I get superuser access back, without having to reinstall everything? It’s my server, so I have access to everything. Permissions are not an issue (except for TastyIgniter permissions).

Thanks!

You can use ‘php artisan igniter:setpwd’ to set a password from the command line.

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your prompt response.

Unfortunately, this isn’t just an issue of a lost password. I have the password. The issue is that I turned off superuser access for the admin account, so there are no accounts with superuser access.

Is there a way for me to turn it back on?

Thanks!

Just set the super column to 1 in the database for that user.

Thanks Ryan. That took care of it. :-)
