Admin user

Admin user

Any user can be made admin.
  1. Adjust the users section in /app/data/settings.json via the File Manager, remove any password field if exist and make sure the usernames match the username in the system:

    {
      "users": {
        "username1": {
          "is_admin": true
        },
        "username2": {
          "is_admin": true
        }
      }
    }

  2. Restart the app
  3. Relogin with that user in Etherpad. Only login via open or creating a new pad works. Login via admin/login does not work, as that view has no OpenID integration!
  4. Access /admin
