How do I add a second person as a systems administrator?
Hi @ksorbo
This is not possible via GUI, only through a manual insertion in the DB. What application and what version are you using?

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I am using OJS version 3.0.2.0.
I am guessing I need to insert an entry in the user_user_groups table?
Hi @ksorbo,
Yes. I assume that the admin group has the ID = 1 and lets say the other user, that should get the admin right has the ID = 10, so you will have to insert a row in the user_user_groups with user_group_id = 1 and user_id = 10.

Thanks for your prompt assistance!!
In OJS 2, adding a new site administrator was done by making a role for the person in the roles table.
So all admins had an entry in the roles table where
user_id = the site administrator’s user id no.
and
journal_id = 0
and
role_id = 1
Is this still true?
To add an additional site administrator in OJS 3, does there need to be added an entry like that in the roles table with journal_id=0 and role_id=1?
