Administration

When developing for MyUSA, you may find it helpful to be an administrator. To enable a user as administrator, follow these steps:

1. Log into the app server, and cd to the MyUSA Rails app directory (probably /var/www/myusa/current/ )

2. Open a rails console. If not running in a local dev environment, you may need to specify the correct environment for the server (staging or production)

bundle exec rails console [environment]

1. Find your user account

User.all

1. Make the user an admin

User.find(1).grant_role!(:admin)
