How do I add a super admin, either programmatically or directly through the database or another

Question

$new_user = array(
  'name' => 'Sg',
  'mail' => '[email protected]',
  'pass' => 'password123',
  'status' => 1,
  'field_custom_first_name' => array(LANGUAGE_NONE => array(array('value' =>'S'))), // This becomes $account->field_custom_first_name[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value']
  'field_custom_last_name' => array(LANGUAGE_NONE => array(array('value' => 'Doe'))),
  'access' => REQUEST_TIME,
  'roles' => array(), // No other roles than Authenticated
 //'roles' => array('10' => '10', '11' => '11'), // If you want to specify additional roles, the numbers are role_id's
);
user_save(NULL, $new_user);

I've seen this above code but where should I implement this code? I tried adding it and I got the error:

user_save() is an undefined function.

I just need to be able to login to the system as a super-admin.

Answer 1

You have to create a super admin role(admin/people/permissions) and check all the boxes. And then you need to assign this role to the user.

Answer 2

I found what I was looking for. You can use drush to generate a one time login link which allows you to get into the system.

drush user-login or its alias drush uli
