Enable apps panel in Nextcloud

[lifeboy]

I've been searching high and low to find how one can get to the apps panel in nextcloud, but so far it has eluded me. The only thing I can find is a reference to having to be an administrator of nextcloud to see the apps panel.

Question: Is a pmiab admin also a nexcloud admin? If so, how does one enable to apps panel please?

If nextcloud needs a special admin to see the apps panel, where is that user?

Some insights and advice would be much appreciated.

Add your user to the admin group with https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/occ_command.html#group-commands

Thanks for the link. However, what is the relationship between a P-MIAB user (ie. @.***) and the a PAM Linux user? My admin account in P-MIAB does not have a PAM user.

Yes, the admin users seems to be different ones. For nextcloud there will be a root user created: https://github.com/ddavness/power-mailinabox/blob/main/setup/nextcloud.sh#L341 Changing the password for root with occ user:resetpassword root worked, but logging in was still not possible. Therefore, I added another user to the admin group. The App Panel is then accessible with this user.

Ok, I was too quick to post above:

sudo -u www-data php occ group:adduser admin roland
user not found 

So, if I list the users...

sudo -u www-data php occ user:list
  - mariesa@mailbox.com: mariesa@mailbox.com
  - pablice@mailbox.com: pablice@mailbox.com
  - roland@mailbox.com: roland@mailbox.com
  - root: root

sudo -u www-data php occ group:adduser admin roland@mailbox.com
An unhandled exception has been thrown:
TypeError: OCA\Circles\Tools\Model\Request::setUsedProtocol(): Argument #1 ($protocol) must be of type string, bool given, called in /usr/local/lib/owncloud/apps/circles/lib/Tools/Model/Request.php on line 295 and defined in /usr/local/lib/owncloud/apps/circles/lib/Tools/Model/Request.php:167

So maybe it's the "@" that's throwing this off course...

sudo -u www-data php occ group:adduser admin "roland@mailbox.com"

Yes, indeed, now the user is added to admins and I can access the apps panel and other admin features.

For future reference: MIAB shipped with a script that can be used for this: tools/owncloud-unlockadmin.sh.
