@kapa.ai Can I change the email of a user thourhg environment variables? If the email was set in the UI at the org creation
k
The knowledge sources do not explicitly mention changing a user's email via environment variables, especially when it was originally set through the UI during org creation. What the knowledge sources do indicate: • For abctl (local deployments), you can update the authentication email using the CLI command:abctl local credentials --email your@email.com[abctl reference] • For Helm Chart (community) deployments, one user reported that the email can be updated by directly modifying the
email
field in the
organization
table in the database, and the password is stored in the
instance-admin-password
field of the
airbyte-auth-secrets
secret. [GitHub discussion] • For Airbyte Agents, the email shown on the Profile page is read-only and tied to the account you signed in with — it cannot be changed from the Profile page. [Profile page docs] There is no mention in the knowledge sources of changing a user's email via environment variables, regardless of whether it was set in the UI. If you're on a self-hosted deployment and the
abctl local credentials --email
command doesn't work (a known issue in older versions), the database approach mentioned above may be the workaround. I'd recommend checking the GitHub issue for the latest status and upgrading to the latest version of abctl/Airbyte if possible. šŸ‘ 0 button šŸ‘Ž 0 button ā„¹ļø Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
