Description

Hey my first created user doesn't have admin rights. Tried to fix it in the terminal but didn't work. Got into sql and tried to find user roles or something like that, but couldn't fix.

The main reason was that I didn't have the namespaces functionality. But anyways would be cool to have an admin without loosing my whole database.

There is no concept of an admin user in Vikunja, except when sharing a project.

Namespaces have been replaced by nestable projects, since a while now. Where did you find that information?

Absolute beginner and trying to switch from MS-Office to independent solutions. Not at all used to all the programming languages.
