14:33	Virgile	hello there
14:33	Virgile	just to let you know...
14:34	Virgile	about my issue where all super users have lost their admin rights
14:34	Virgile	had to do something like
14:34	Virgile	SELECT * FROM authenticateduser;
14:34	Virgile	UPDATE authenticateduser SET superuser='t' WHERE useridentifier='dataverseAdmin';
14:35	Virgile	the "université de Lorraine" also had the issue, but in a DV that is in a docker
15:44	pdurbin	Virgile: weird. Out of the box, dataverseAdmin is a superuser. I'm not sure why this would change.
15:47	Virgile	very wierd indeed! I'll be really careful from now on
15:48	Virgile	it happened only once on one of our server, but in the other university it happened several times... o_O
15:51	pdurbin	Do you use the "toggle superuser" API? For a long time I've felt that we should offer separate "promoteToSuperuser" and "demoteFromSuperuser" API endpoints. For idempotency.
15:52	Virgile	no, didn't use it at all!
15:52	Virgile	but might be interesting indeed
15:53	pdurbin	Ok. It's also possible to promote/demote in the user dashboard.
15:53	Virgile	but the dashboard was hidden as all superusers have been demoted! ^^
15:54	pdurbin	d'oh!
15:54	Virgile	that's how i realised my account was no superuser anymore! ;)
15:54	Virgile	so i connected as "adminDataverse" and.... Wooot!!! no dashboard too! ;o
15:55	pdurbin	a mystery
15:55	Virgile	and you told me about the account name in red (which i didn't pay attention)
16:00	pdurbin	right
16:01	Virgile	end of day here... have a nice day and take care! :)
16:03	pdurbin	you too
16:17	pdurbin	poikilotherm2: I just left you a comment: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/7613
17:50	poikilotherm2	Thank you!
18:10	pdurbin	poikilotherm2: sure, but I asked a question in there. :)
18:45	pdurbin	Looks like Leonid has a question too (in the issue).
