Setting up the first admin

Setting up the first admin

Please make sure a user had been created using the register page or using the POST method onto https://localhost:8080/api/users. This is to create the first admin in the database since there is no other admin that can grant a user the admin role.

Note: Editing the database this way should only be done to create the first admin. If you want to edit anything else, please use the frontend or use the different endpoints.

Development

It is also possible to follow the production instructions for this, as the terminal is used for that.

For development, you can also use the intellij interface. On the very far right of intellij, you can clik on the database tab. Next, you need to click on the '+' and then select Data Source > PostgreSQL. You need to fill out the correct information. If you haven't setup environment variables, postgres should be running on the default values. The username default is postgres, the password default is postgres and the database name default is osoc. After this is correctly entered, select apply and ok. In the database tab, there should now be a PostgreSQL tab. If you don't see anthing when you try and open it, you need to right click it and then click refresh. Next, go to databases > osoc > schemas > public Then, double click on the account table. Change the role of the correct row to 0 and the submit using ctrl+enter or using the button on the taskbar.

Production

Without docker

If you are just using postgresql, then you should run the following and only follow the last few steps.

psql -U $OSOC_DB_USERNAME $OSOC_DB_DBNAME -W

With docker

The container name can be found using

sudo docker ps

Then we want to go into the psql cli. If you have setup environment variables, then you should only enter the container name. Otherwise you need to enter the default values. This should only be done in development since we highly recommend using environment variables in production. The username default is postgres, the password default is postgres and the database name default is osoc.

sudo docker exec -it <container-name> psql -U $OSOC_DB_USERNAME $OSOC_DB_DBNAME -W

PostgreSQL statements

After that, we want to list all the users to get their ids and assign the admin role to the correct user using the corresponding id.

SELECT * FROM account;
UPDATE account SET role=0 WHERE id='<id>';
