Accessing the admin interface

To access the admin interface, a user must be logged in and have admin permissions. To grant admin permissions to a user, first create a user, or use an existing one, and then promote that user to be an admin:

Create the user (if needed)

tox -qe dev -- sh bin/hypothesis --dev user add

This will prompt you to enter the user’s

1. unique name
2. unique email address
3. password

Once you have entered that information, then you may promote the user to admin.

Promote to admin level

Note

Replace <username> with the value you entered in the previous step or appropriate user’s name.

tox -qe dev -- sh bin/hypothesis --dev user admin <username>

When this user signs in they can now access the administration panel at /admin. The administration panel has options for managing users and optional features.
