Admin User Setup

After setting up authentication we can elevate a user that's logged into the system to administrator status:

• Connect to the postgres database by running

psql postgres

• Check the users table by running

SELECT
  *
FROM
  users;

Which will display a table of users in the database:

 user_id |       uid        |    uin    |   name   | lti_course_instance_id | lti_user_id | lti_context_id | institution_id | deleted_at
---------+------------------+-----------+----------+------------------------+-------------+----------------+----------------+------------
       1 | dev@illinois.edu | 000000000 | Dev User |                        |             |                |              1 |

Add the desired user to the administrators table by running

INSERT INTO
  administrators (user_id)
VALUES
  (
    user_id
    from
      users table
  );
