How to setup admin user with gitlab with LDAP authentication?

Question

I\'ve just setup gitlab, but I\'m completely lost with regards to admin user. The wiki seems silent about this topic, and google hasn\'t been of help either.

So, how do

Answer 1

Mine is a variant of the accepted answer but it's based on an example from the official documentation

From the command line of your gitlab server:

Open the gitlab rails console (I'm assuming here that you aren't logged in as root):

sudo gitlab-rails console production

Then type the following commands:

 user = User.find_by(username: 'my_username')
 user.admin = true
 user.save!

Close the console:

exit

Update your gitlab server:

sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
