Server admin role assignment

[tim-van-dijkhuizen]

Summary

I would like the ability to assign server admin permissions to other users provisioned by OIDC.

Motivation

One of the OIDC users is my primary (management) account for all the software I'm running. I would like to assign Pangolin server admin permissions to it so I can use for for Pangolin too.

Proposed Solution

Allow assigning server admin permissions to other users, including OIDC users.

Every few months when I want to check out something in the server admin view I get confused about why I cannot see the Server admin link; I eventually remember that my org admin account that I've signed in via OIDC - like I do for everything else - doesn't have server admin privilege and I have to sign out and back in with the non-OIDC user. Does anyone know if there a workaround for this, at least?

Take a look at https://docs.pangolin.net/self-host/advanced/container-cli-tool#set-server-admin

Hi,

Unfortunately it does not work : the initial user has an email with xxx@ss.com ; but the one created via OIDC has got the same email address

So it says : User 'xxx@ss.com' is already a server admin

I'm glad I stumbled upon this as I am literally going through exactly the same issue and it's driving me nuts. I have my server admin account and my OIDC account via Pocket ID with the same email and it's causing me a lot of confusion

Ahh okay the only way to do this then is the following: $ sudo apt install sqlite3 $ sqlite3 config/db/db.sqlite sqlite> UPDATE user SET serverAdmin = 1 WHERE email = ***@***.***'; sqlite> .quit
