<h2 id="summary">Summary</h2>
<p>If you forgot password of existing global admin account, or mistakenly removed
global admin, you can promote an existing mail user to be a global admin by
following this tutorial.</p>
<h2 id="promote-user-to-be-global-admin">Promote user to be global admin</h2>
<h3 id="sql-backends">SQL backends</h3>
<p>Let's say you want to promote existing mail user <code>john@example.com</code> to be
<strong>global admin</strong>, here's SQL commands to achieve this goal (note: we use MySQL
for example):</p>
<pre><code>sql&gt; USE vmail;
sql&gt; UPDATE mailbox SET isadmin=1, isglobaladmin=1 WHERE username='john@example.com';
sql&gt; INSERT INTO domain_admins (username, domain) VALUES ('john@example.com', 'ALL');
</code></pre>
<p>That's it, you can now login to iRedAdmin as <code>john@example.com</code> (with <code>john@example.com</code>'s password).</p>
<p>To promote user <code>smith@test.com</code> to be admin of domain <code>test.com</code> (Note: normal domain admin is only available in iRedAdmin-Pro):</p>
<pre><code>sql&gt; USE vmail;
sql&gt; UPDATE mailbox SET isadmin=1, isglobaladmin=0 WHERE username='smith@test.com';
sql&gt; INSERT INTO domain_admins (username, domain) VALUES ('smith@test.com', 'test.com');
</code></pre>
<h3 id="ldap-backends">LDAP backends</h3>
<p>To promote existing mail user <code>john@example.com</code> to be <strong>global admin</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Update LDAP object of mail user <code>john@example.com</code> (its full dn is:
<code>mail=john@example.com,ou=Users,domainName=example.com,o=domains,dc=xx,dc=xx</code>),
add LDAP attribute <code>enabledService=domainadmin</code> and <code>domainGlobalAdmin=yes</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>To promote existing mail user <code>smith@test.com</code> to be admin of domain <code>test.com</code>:</p>
<ol>
