How do I make an existing user an admin

[JimZipCode]

I'm running Mastodon 4.0.2

1. Can this only be done from the command line?

If so, WHY on earth? Don't we want most routine user-management tasks done from the UI?

2. How to do it from command line?

This does not work:

root@mastodon:~# su - mastodon
mastodon@mastodon:~$ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails mastodon:make_admin USERNAME=JimZipCode
Could not locate Gemfile or .bundle/ directory
mastodon@mastodon:~$ cd live
mastodon@mastodon:~/live$ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails mastodon:make_admin USERNAME=MyUser
rails aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'mastodon:make_admin' (See the list of available tasks with `rails --tasks`)
Did you mean?  mastodon:stats

I'll attach the out from the rails --tasks command.

This also does not work:

mastodon@mastodon:~/live$ RAILS_ENV=production bin/tootctl accounts modify MyUser --role admin
Cannot find user role with that name

That error message makes a sort of sense. Admin is not a custom or user-defined role, it is a default role. But then how do I put someone into it?

4.0+ roles are case-sensitive

Thanks. So what do I change my attempted-commands to?

[trwnh]

change --role admin to --role Admin i think
