Originally created by @cratedev on GitHub (Nov 4, 2024).

I installed Komodo with mongodb a while back, and was using local auth (account name: admin).

I then switched to using OIDC, but my OIDC user (server) is of course different. I'd like to make "server" the super admin, and remove "admin".

Is there a simple way to do that?

I managed to figure it out after a lot of trial and error. Basically:
Run mongosh, connect to the komodo db, and then update the User collection:

db.User.updateOne({username: 'server'}, {$set:{admin:true}})

db.User.updateOne({username: 'server'}, {$set:{super_admin:true}})

For someone coming across this, you can connect to your MongoDB using the following command (replace 'komodo-mongo-1' with the name of your docker container):

docker exec -it komodo-mongo-1 mongosh "mongodb://localhost:27017" --username komodo

You will be asked for your password.

Once logged in, select the right database:

use komodo

And then run the commands referenced above with the right username.

Personally, I think there should be a toggle for this in the interface.
