Create and Manage Super Admin Role in OnApp

Question

How do I create and manage the Super Admin role for my cloud?

Environment

OnApp 6.2 Edge 1 and the following versions

OnApp 6.1 Patch 2 and the following versions

Answer

When a user enables the Enable Super Admin permissions option via Settings, the option activates the permission but the corresponding role does not appear in the list of roles at Dashboard > Roles and is not assigned to any user. To create the role and to assign it to a particular user, a user runs two separate rake tasks.

To create the Super Admin role, go to the console and run the following rake task:

rake role:generate_super_admin  

Next, assign this role to a specific user:

rake 'role:assign_super_admin_to_user[login]'

To delete the Super Admin role, run the following rake task:

rake role:destroy_super_admin

Additional Information

For more information about activating the permission via the Settings menu, refer to the Edit System Configuration document.
