[Question]: how to create admin user?

[woojuini]

What is your question?

I'm using librechat deployed on k8s with helm.

I'm using google authentication to sign in.
I want to log in as admin to test admin functionality, how can I switch from a regular user to admin?
I've tried modifying the role in the users collection using mongodb express, but it still recognizes me as user.

'''
users.collection
{
_id: ObjectId('66f2726d97c508785'),
name: 'tester',
username: 'tester',
email: '[email protected]',
emailVerified: true,
avatar: 'https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/A2g7PTYs8pwqfTBWAoYgs_cPyhkYwc',
provider: 'google',
role: 'ADMIN',
googleId: '10639dsfaf973226',

I couldn't find any documentation on how to create an admin user.

The first registered user is the admin user. There's no functionality to create more admins other than editing the role property in the database.

You can look into Mongo Express which allows you to edit/view your database:

If you can expose the mongo connection, you can also use MongoDB Compass:

I think I'm having the same issue. I updated the 'role' for my user to ADMIN and it didn't change anything. There was no ADMIN user to begin with since I'm using LDAP auth and no user ever went through a 'registration' process.

Nevermind, I see the 'Admin Settings' under 'Agents' now after updating MongoDB manually.

In case of using LDAP auth, the first user to actually login should be ADMIN (there was previously a bug, but now it works).

Thank you all for your help.
I updated my role to mongdb express and switched to admin, but I can't seem to find the admin menu.
In the agent builder, add tools menu at the bottom there is a button for Admin Settings
I couldn't find the admin settings anywhere else.

To my knowledge it is just the 'Admin Settings' under 'Agent Builder'. Perhaps someone else knows of something else...
