Accidentally removed the crowd-administrators group. What can I do?

[Doug Hughes]

I accidentally deleted the crowd-administrators group from my Crowd install. This immediately removed my permissions to administrate the system. I am now locked out from it. Is there any way to restore this group and my user's association? Or do I need to basically do a DB restore or clean install?

Thanks,

Doug

Try this: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWDKB/Restoring+Passwords+To+Recover+Admin+User+Rights#RestoringPasswordsToRecoverAdminUserRights-Step4.IfNoLocalUsersExist

You might want to use another existing group or add a group similar to how you add a user.

Thank you. I ended up doing a DB restore before I had a chance to try this out. The information looked good, so I've marked it as accepted.
