I made the big mistake to test the sso authentification plugin with Authentik. This seems to have modified my admin user permissions... and it now isn't admin anymore and doesn't have access to any library (or anything really!).
Since my jellyfin server lost its admin user, I can't access the dashboard. is there e way to fix this mess I created? I already tried to delete the plugin from /config/plugins, to restart the container, to completely remove it delete non-persistent data and recreate it. None of that worked.
Is the a file somewhere in the container that I could edit to give back my user admin permissions? Or a way to create a new admin user by command line to access the admin settings?
[edit] Two hours later, I found how to do it... It was in the documentation, my bad:
