Cocov

Administration

Last updated Feb 26, 2024

Cocov Administrators are trusted users which receives an extra set of permissions that overrides the ones the instance automatically obtains from GitHub. By default, the first user to login to the instance is automatically promoted to a system administrator, which can then select other users as they deem fit. Do notice, however, that in order to promote an user to an administrative role, they must have logged into the platform at least once.
