我的论坛遇到了一个问题，一个机器人具备管理员权限无法删除，导致我担心哪一天黑客劫持了我的论坛调用了这个幽灵机器人用户。 [image]

Beware that using the Rails console is an extraordinary action, and if you remove the wrong AI bot, you can break some functionality. Check this: [image] Deleting Users in rails console Support We are using SSO to log in users that autenticated on our main website One of our users got a message (on login) that there was an error and that she should contact an administrator. So we searched for her but could not find her profile. I did the first best thing i could imagine and “deleted” her via command line User.find_by(email: "ex@example.com").delete which was not smart and did not really work. When she tried to login she was faced with the same error. Now her profile exist (not fin… I think you can also remove admin privileges before deleting users from the GUI. Entering into the Rails console (you want to backup just in case): cd /var/discourse/ ./launcher enter app rails c Removing the privileges: u = User.find_by(username: "BOT_USERNAME") u.revoke_admin!

你如果服务器系统都被攻破了，调用机器人还是直接修改数据库，又有什么区别呢。

不如保护好你的ssh账号密码不泄露，就可以了

When did you first notice the bot being there?

是之前 Discourse bot，但是改名后失效了

Perhaps your discourse_narrative_bot_enabled setting was disabled? IIRC there was a change to new sites where Discobot will be turned off by default.

The user in question is not discobot, discobot is this instead

You can’t delete admin users until you have demoted them. If you remove the bot’s admin rights you should be able to delete it.

I think this isn’t possible for (AI)-bot users. There is no “Revoke admin” button. It might be a little difficult to notice that in a screenshot taken on a Chinese interface, so I am adding an English one: [image] The buttons between “manage keys” and the trust level dropdown, which are shown for normal admins, are missing on bot users.
