Give superuser privileges to a user

[ihsaan-ullah]

When I try to use shell_plus as mentioned here: https://github.com/codalab/codabench/wiki/Administrator-procedures#give-superuser-privileges-to-an-user

docker-compose exec django ./manage.py shell_plus

I get this error:

I can use ipython flavour:

docker-compose exec django ./manage.py shell_plus --ipython

Yes, I had to use docker-compose exec django ./manage.py shell_plus --plain to make it work.

It was supposed to be solved by #814.

[ihsaan-ullah]

Do we want to fix this or update the documentation with --plain flag?

[Didayolo]

Maybe we want to understand what it is broken, it was working in the past.
