Hi discourse’s community ! This is my first utilisation of discourse. I want to grant administrator rights to a user. As admin, i received a mail but the link is broken : “Wrong Link You have clicked on an invalid link. Please make sure that you have typed the link correctly. If are copying this link from a mail reader please ensure that you have copied all the lines in the link.” I want to change user status within the CLI. It is possible ? PS: I did not find any information in the threads of discussions Thanks for your help and advises

I’m not sure what’s happened to that email, but you can do it from the console: :+1: [image]Create an admin account from the console Grant Admin Privileges to Existing Account Run this command from console: rake admin:create You will be asked for Email , enter the email of existing account. Now you will be asked: User with this email already exists! Do you want to reset the password for this email? (Y/n) . Press n then enter. Now you will be asked: Do you want to grant Admin privileges to this account? (Y/n) . Press enter to continue.

Thanks @JammyDodger. I didn’t understand that this process also affects other users. I thought it was only for the administrator.

Hi @pfaffman I’m going to see in my mail sending service what happens. Thanks a lot !

Did the link get rewritten by your mail sending service so that it could do link tracking?
