We have an Umbraco 6.0.5 site where our default "Administrative User" (UserId:0) was accidentally changed from the "admin" UserType to a custom UserType (I know, I know...).
We can still log in as "Administrative User" but because it is now a custom UserType, we cannot change the UserType of itself back to "admin"
Our other admin UserType accounts can't even see "Administrative User," which after looking at the source code, looks quite intentional.
We wanted to just directly update the "userType" column in the umbracoUser table on the Umbraco database. But I know direct Umbraco database updates are not advised (and with good reason).
Should this be a safe operation a or can anyone here give some better solutions?
Additionally I saw the advice in this thread actually advises updates to the UmbracoUser table. Is there anything specific to updating the UserType column in UmbracoUser table that would make updating in the database not advisable?
We successfully updated the UserType on the database back to the original admin user type, only catch was we needed to Recycle the AppPool before the changes were applied.
Default Administrative User UserType changed - need to undo
