[Building Sakai] Can't find user when grant ability

[wendy lee]

Hi Raad,
 
According to your solution admin users can be added and the user exists by "View user info". Thank you.

I want to add admin users without adding them to the Administrative Workspace site according to https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Sakai+Admin+Guide+-+Configuring+Sakai+from+within+the+Web+Application 

Create a new user following the first 5 steps above. 
Under the "Administration Workspace" site, open the "Realms" tool. 
Enter "/site/!admin" in the search field and hit the "Search" link. 
Click the "/site/!admin" link that appears in the list of results. 
Click the "Grant Ability" link at the top of the screen that appears. 
Enter the id of the user created above in the "User Id:" text box, select the "admin" role, then click "Done". 

I can find users before but not now. Can't find any user even "admin" in step 6.
I added users with userDirectoryService.addUser and deleted users with "Users" then "Remove User". I believe that there is something wrong with database tables. Shall I restore database?

Hi Wendy

You probably want to check the user exists, and you can give someone access to the !admin workspace by going to the !admin site, then the "Site Info" tool, then use "Add participants".
You can check if the user exists by going to the "Become User" tool, then putting the user's userid in the box and clicking "View user info" (there are other ways, but this is my preferred way).

Hope that helps

Raad
