Administrator lost "ADMIN" tab

koxon_ — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 04:06:16 GMT

Hi,

I am playing with users and groups. Using Studio I deleted the Administrators group. I assigned another group to the user Administrator. I deployed, it looked ok.

Today, I restart my server and the admin user cannot see the "ADMIN" tab in the header anymore. As a result, I can't access any Admin actions. I can't pull the latest config from studio. I am stuck 😕

Any idea why this happen? Shouldn't "Administrator" be protected from loosing all rights? At least one privilege user must always remain. How I could fix it?

Thank you

Nicolas

hello,

add a file named emergency-config.xml under $NUXEO/nxserver/config with this content

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<component name="emergency.users">

  <extension target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.usermanager.UserService" point="userManager">

    <userManager>
      <users>
        <virtualUser id="MyAdministrator" searchable="false">
          <password>secret</password>
          <property name="firstName">My</property>
          <property name="lastName">Admin</property>
          <group>administrators</group>
        </virtualUser>
      </users>
    </userManager>

  </extension>

</component>

And you'll be able to log in with MyAdministrator/secret

Kind regards,

Thierry
