Manually assigning an administrator role

[Rob S]

Our GoCD administrator left the organization a few months ago and it appears there was no handover or additional administrator assigned, so now no one knows how to add new users to GoCD

Is there a way the GoCD server admin can manually assign the admin role to a user or is there a way to create an admin role without an administrator ?

Hello Rob,

You should be able to edit the config XML file directly on the filesystem to get admin access. It’s usually in /etc/go/cruise-config.xml. For other OSes, the installation instructions can tell you where the config is. You would need to add yourself as an admin. Search for the <admins> tag.

Or, if you’re locked out, this might help: https://github.com/gocd/gocd/issues/734#issuecomment-461382564

Cheers,
Aravind
