Change user access level

Is it possible to take an existing user and make them an admin? I don’t see anywhere in the UI where it allows you to change the access level of a user (to increase or decrease it). Is this possible?

Admin… Users…access control… Enable staff status.

Ah - I see. I had Staff access, but unless you’re a superuser you don’t see any of this. Any tricks to enable superuser status for any account except the original account I created first?

Another option and one that isn’t officially supported (due to the potential to corupt data bases) is

Add the following line to local_settings.py

KEGBOT_ENABLE_ADMIN = True

Then restart the server.

You need to run kegbot syncdb after enabling admin.

Then restart

After it’s back up, navigate to the server’s admin page. You’ll see a new option for Database Admin. Under that you can make super users. Again this is a bit of a hack, I haven’t had a problem with it yet, but I do very little in the database admin section.
