Changing Admin User's e-mail removes admin rights #23

Closed Doc-Saintly closed 3 months ago

Doc-Saintly commented 4 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install Friendica Application
  2. Set User1 as Admin
  3. Log in as User1
  4. Change e-mail address to a different one
  5. The admin settings icon disappears

Tried to change the e-mail back and it gives the error

Cannot change to that email.

Only solution seems to be to uninstall and re-install.

A workaround is to use a dedicated admin user for Friendica and do not change the e-mail address.

Another workaround is to manually change the local.config.php file:

'admin_email' => ...

The 'admin_email' => is added while installation. This is default feature. Once the admin rights are given to a user its responsibility of the admin to take care of this type of issues.

We can give a warning about this in the readme. I will add this in next update.

For a solution the admin email in the app settings can be changed and upgrade the app, which will change the admin email, thus giving back the admin rights to a user.
