User fixup in gitlab

I had to restore a gitlab installation and after that I had to recover admin rights.

So I needed to go through gitlab-rails and the console, and it requires a bit of patience before the prompt shows up

root@testgitlab:~# gitlab-rails console production
Loading production environment (Rails 4.2.10)
irb(main):001:0>

Then I gotta find myself (created a user using the signup page).

user = User.find_by(email: 'my.own.name@example.com')
=> #<User id:13 @mon>
puts user.access_level
regular
=> nil

And restore my access level to the server.

I used.

user.access_level=:admin
=> :admin

This might also do the trick..

user.admin=true
user.save!

This is also where I can change the password

user.password = 'secret_pass'
user.password_confirmation = 'secret_pass'

And do not forget to commit the user so the changes stick.

irb(main):034:0> user.save!
=> true
