Hi, I’m setting up a mattermost instance. I accidentally changed myself from “system admin” to “admin” and now since I’m the only user I appear to be locked out of the System Console. Any easy way I can reset it? I’m happy to hack in postgres or blow away the data as needed.
This does appear to be a bug… Someone shouldn’t be able to demote their own account if it’s the last remaining system admin.
cheers,

I dropped and recreated the database and teams dir in ./data and now I’m back in. Still, I think this is a bug.
You can use the command line interface
./platform -assign_role -team_name="yourteam" -email="name@yourcompany.com" -role="system_admin"
if the server is running you may need to logout and log back in to pick up the new role.
Awesome thanks a lot!
