<![CDATA[How to become the Vikunja-Admin-User?]]>Hello, my name is Frank and I am a Cloudron user. Unfortunately, I am not a developer.
I have installed Vinkunja and find it user-friendly, which is why I would like to use it.

Problem:
Unfortunately, I am always just a normal user when I log in.
I have reinstalled Vinkunja several times and tried all the options available to me – without success.
What I would like:

  • Admin rights in the app, e.g.
  • to prevent self-registration and
  • to create all users myself in the application and then invite them if necessary.
    I have read elsewhere that this is basically intended for Vikunja, but is not possible under Cloudron?

Does anyone have any advice or can help me?

Thanks in advance.
Frank

Please see: https://docs.cloudron.io/packages/vikunja
With the config file you can control e.g.: self-registration (which is disabled by default when using the Cloudron user management).
As far as I know, Vinkunja does not have Admin accounts, you will have to use the vinkunja cli => https://vikunja.io/docs/cli/
You can open the Web Terminal of your Vinkunja Cloudron app and just do e.g.:

vikunja user create --help

Create a new user.

Usage:
  vikunja user create [flags]

Flags:
  -a, --avatar-provider string   The avatar provider of the new user. Optional.
  -e, --email string             The email address of the new user.
  -h, --help                     help for create
  -p, --password string          The password of the new user. You will be asked to enter it if not provided through the flag.
  -u, --username string          The username of the new user.
