How Can I Create an Admin User From the Command Line in Ansible Automation Platform ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat® Ansible Automation Platform

Issue

  • My current admin user is damaged and I can't access to AAP GUI as admin

Resolution

  • As root user, create a new admin user using awx-manage command:

    awx-manage createsuperuser --username admin2

Root Cause

  • The default admin permissions could be overwritten accidentally.

Diagnostic Steps

  • Check the admin permissions querying the endpoint below. (Note that id 1 is for the default admin user, but this ID can vary depending on your configuration)

    https://TOWER_DOMAIN/api/v2/users/1/

    It should return:

    is_superuser: true

  • If this parameter is False, this user has no longer admin permissions and you should create a new admin user following the instruction explained.
