I am currently experiencing the following problem on my Rstudio Connect environment:
In the past, we used our last name to authenticate.
Recently, we have been using SAML authentication and we use our VISA number.
So we currently have two accounts :
an account identified by the family name
an account identified by the VISA number
The problem is that I used to be an administrator, but since the authentication change, my new account does not have the administrator role.
I would like to change the status of my current account (identified by my VISA) to administrator, but since I no longer have access to my old administrator account (identified by my last name), I don't know how to proceed.
"migrate your old user": list accounts with usermanager list, delete your new account with usermanager delete and then alter your old account to have a "new unique id" that matches your new account: usermanager alter --user-guid {{old-user-guid}} --new-unique-id {{my-unique-id}}
"change role": The usermanager CLI is always a get-out-of-jail-free card usermanager alter --user-guid {{old-user-guid}} --new-role administrator
I hope that helps! Either you or someone else who runs into this problem!
Hello,
I have the same problem. After I installed Connect I registered and logged in. Then we added saml support, so I have a new user-id, which is viewer. I need to make it administrator. When I use the "alter --user-guid xxx --new-role administrator, I get the message that tells me user roles are managed by saml and cannot be altered. How do I get around this problem/
I'll push this upstream and see if we can change this behavior in the product.
