How do I become a server admin?

If your server already has an admin account you should use the [User Admin API](../../admin_api/user_admin_api.md#Change-whether-a-user-is-a-server-administrator-or-not) to promote other accounts to become admins.
If your server already has an admin account you should use the [User Admin API](../../admin_api/user_admin_api.md#change-whether-a-user-is-a-server-administrator-or-not) to promote other accounts to become admins.

If you don't have any admin accounts yet you won't be able to use the admin API, so you'll have to edit the database manually. Manually editing the database is generally not recommended so once you have an admin account: use the admin APIs to make further changes.
