I registered in forum using Google account with TL1. Then I grant admin rights using rake admin:invite[******@gmail.com]. The user gets Admin+TL4. After that I revoke admin grants, but TL4 did not revert back to TL1. Discourse 1.9.4

Relevant file for admin:invite (for those wondering) lib/tasks/admin.rake main desc "invite an admin to this discourse instance" task "admin:invite", [:email] => [:environment] do |_, args| email = args[:email] if !email || emai…

This is the first I’ve heard of this rake task. I dig see why it applies user level 4,but if you use it you’ll need to remove tl4 if you want the user not to be tl4.

I don’t think this is a bug Moderation ranks (moderator and admin) aren’t releated with Trust Level A TL0 can be a moderator or admin, while a TL4 can just be a TL4. It doesn’t depend on it

steve_pd: That’s inaccurate, the file @cpradio quoted makes the user TL4. No, he is correct. Moderator/Admin abilities have zero dependencies on TL4, what isn’t clear is why this rake tasks sets the invited admin to TL4. If you were to use the Admin > User UI, you would not get that same beh…

Looking at git blame it appears that promotion to TL4 has been part of the rake task since @sam wrote it 4 years ago. He might have some insight.

[image] cpradio: No, he is correct. Moderator/Admin abilities have zero dependencies on TL4, what isn’t clear is why this rake tasks sets the invited admin to TL4. You probably misinterpreted my post, @barreeeiroo said that this isn’t a bug, and that ranks aren’t related to TL. The OP has fla…

You might want to read my full reply, but I acknowledge it does it and gave reasons why I still feel it is not a bug. :wink:

As mentioned above, granting the user by UI, TL is not changed. But using CLI (this is a way to make new user an admin silently from other admins, because they don’t get a confirmation email in this case), user gets TL4 with admins rights. Either UI should change TL to 4 or CLI method should keep TL…

[image] cpradio: what isn’t clear is why this rake tasks sets the invited admin to TL4 Do we need this @sam ? It seems excessive to me.
