Does All-Projects actually exist in  the /home/user/Work/test_repo_sync/.repo folder?

[Paresh Purabhiya]

Hi David,

Thanks for the response. No the All-Projects did not exist in the /home/user/Work/test_repo_sync/.repo folder?.

But the issue has been resolved now, Since after going thru this issue in this discussion gtoup "https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=1305"  I deleted the mysql database and re-created the same and that resolved the issue.

However I have one more query where in I would like to request you to please help me with your inputs. I have setup gerrit version 2.8.2 and was able to set it up with LDAP authenticaton method.

But I do not see the Admin TAB with the 1st user logged in But instead I see the People TAB.
However the 1st user has all the rights and privileges of an administrator (attached is the screenshot for the same)
 1. has something changed with this gerrit version about Admin TAB in gerrit Webpage ?
 2. is this the correct or is something missing ?

[David Pursehouse]

This is expected.  The Admin tab was removed; functions like "create new group" and "create new project" are now listed under the "people" and "projects" tabs respectively, for users who have the necessary permissions.
