Stash - Create System Administrator user from MySQL console

[Ivan Varbanov]

Hello,

by mistake we delete the system administrator account and we don't have another one. Currently we have only Administrator account. Setup is Stash + LDAP/AD Integration + Internal Stash groups where we placed users from AD.

How can I create a new user from MySQL or how can I recreate the System Administrator account? It's in production and I wan't to avoid reinstallation or anything like that. There should be a way somehow to create that user in MySQL. Can you please provide me how I can accomplishe this?

Thank you

Hi Ivan,

Does anything on this page help? Make sure you back up the database before making any manual changes, just in case...

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Restoring+Passwords+To+Recover+Admin+User+Rights

The only other table that is Stash specific is STASH_USER, which has it's own id and the username (and slug which should be the same).

Otherwise if you get stuck or you're not sure you should definitely raise a support ticket so that we can help you that way as well.

Cheers,

Charles

The other possibility is granting your admin 'sysadmin' rights. The table is STA_GLOBAL_PERMISSION and the user id column will match/join with STASH_USER. Admin has the value '6' and sysadmin has the value '7'. You could change that too if that helps?

Cheers,
