This guide explains how to log back into Discourse as an admin when you have been locked out.
Required user level: Administrator
If you’ve locked yourself out of your Discourse instance with an invalid SSO configuration, append /u/admin-login
to the end of your forum’s root URL:
https://discourse.example.com/u/admin-login
This will take you to an admin login page:
You’ll be sent an email with a login link that circumvents SSO and read-only mode, allowing you to login as needed.
If you have 2-factor authentication enabled you’ll still have to enter your auth code.
Alternative method requiring console access
Disable SSO
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c
irb > SiteSetting.enable_discourse_connect = false
irb > SiteSetting.enable_local_logins = true
irb > exit
exit
Disable read-only mode
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c
irb > Discourse.disable_readonly_mode(Discourse::USER_READONLY_MODE_KEY)
irb > exit
exit
