Hello everyone, I set up a discourse server for a client and let them create test accounts, which I knew will ultimately become obsolete once the SSO was in place. I set everything up, customised my theme and wrote category descriptions for everything using my admin account A. Once I had Discourse…

Then your account is not an Admin. I would suggest you add your Account B to the Dev section in the app. yml like @JammyDodger mentioned. ## TODO: List of comma delimited emails that will be made admin and developer ## on initial signup example 'user1@example.com,user2@example.com' DISCOURSE…

Hey Flo, welcome to the community :waving_hand:t2: The Impersonate button is still there and I am on the latest build.

Is it possible to log in to the Admin A account using /users/admin-login to log in via email? That may allow you to untie the knot?

Hi Gavin, How can I tell which version I’m on through the interface? On the Dashboard it says last updated on August 3rd, but I can’t see a version number. Thanks

Hi JammyDoger, I didn’t know this route existed! That definitely solves the problem of circumventing DiscourseConnect , though I haven’t been able to untie the knot so to speak. Impersonate buttons show up for user A though, so I’m assuming they’re currently not impersonating anyone?

You can view source. It’s not hard to find. Visit /u/admin-login and change the admin account email to one that can log in via sso. You could also change the address via the rails console.

Hi Jay, I just wrongly assumed that if you’re deliberately hiding the information from admins, then it wouldn’t be public. 2.8.0.beta4 it is. Regarding your second suggestion, I don’t want to do that as user A has no equivalent on my other system, however any user can potentially have an account o…

Can you now log out of the Admin A account to make sure it’s reset to admin and not impersonating anyone? [이미지] Impersonate a user and returning to admin user The admin user is no longer logged in as admin and needs to log out and log in again to return to the admin user. To exit, use the “Log O…

Hi JammyDodger, Yeah, I logged out of both and back into B and no dice :upside_down_face:

Does yours look like this? [image]

That’s about the bottom of my tiny barrel of knowledge. :slightly_smiling_face: I wasn’t sure if admins could impersonate other admins (I thought it was only developers). Did you remove Admin B from this list? [이미지] I entered the wrong admin email address during initial setup You can only impers…

Admin A 계정으로 로그아웃하여 관리자 계정으로 초기화되었는지, 다른 사용자를 사칭하고 있지 않은지 확인해 주시겠습니까?

(혹시 모르니 Admin B도 로그아웃해 주세요 )
