Taiga superuser login problem

Troubleshooting
1

I installed taiga using docker and created a superuser, but I can’t log in with the created username.
I ran python manage.py shell and tried to change the password with python codes and try again, but it still has a problem.

This is my first time running taiga.

You are a super user as soon as you login to a Django session. You can do anything you want to the entire database. Here is some diagnostic code you can use.

 ./taiga-manage.sh shell

Python 3.11.9 (main, Jul 10 2024, 19:07:14) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(InteractiveConsole)
>>> from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
>>> User = get_user_model()
>>> superusers = User.objects.filter(is_superuser=True)
>>> for user in superusers:
...     print(f"Username: {user.username}, Email: {user.email}, ID: {user.id}")
... 
Username: 'user-name', Email: 'email-address@domain', ID: n

In Django, you can update the password for a user with id=0 (if such a user exists) using the following code:

user = User.objects.filter(id=0).first()  # Get user with ID 0

if user:
    user.set_password("new_secure_password")  # Replace with your desired password
    user.save()
    print("Password updated successfully.")
else:
    print("User with ID 0 not found.")

Explanation:

  • User.objects.filter(id=0).first() fetches the user with id=0, if they exist.
  • user.set_password("new_secure_password") securely hashes and sets the new password.
  • user.save() saves the changes to the database.

To find a user by email and set them as a superuser in Django, use the following code:

email_to_find = "user@example.com"  # Replace with the actual email
user = User.objects.filter(email=email_to_find).first()

if user:
    user.is_superuser = True  # Grant superuser privileges
    user.is_staff = True  # Also needed for Django admin access
    user.save()
    print(f"User {user.username} is now a superuser.")
else:
    print("User not found.")

Explanation:

  • User.objects.filter(email=email_to_find).first()
    retrieves the first user matching the given email.
  • user.is_superuser = True grants superuser privileges.
  • user.is_staff = True allows access to the Django admin panel.
  • user.save() commits the changes to the database.

Cheers!
