Emergency access
If you’re running your own onCourse server and run into issues where you no longer have access, you can create a .txt file to put into the server folder.
The file should be called createAdminUsers.txt and use the following format:
John,Doe,[email protected]
Jane,Doe,<[email protected]>
John Smith [email protected]
Jane Smith <[email protected]>
If the user is a new user, then that user will be created and an email will be sent to them requesting that they set their password.
If you add to this file a user that already exists, when the file is read, that user’s password is automatically reset and they will be sent a reset password email allowing them to set a new one.
