I am exploring AppSmith and have a typo in my admin user email. I can login with the wrong email, but this is does not help me if I ever want to send emails.
I have full admin access to the system. Is there a way that I can change the email? Is it somewhere in a config file or Mongo that I can edit?
I have superuser access and the email is correct there.
Where it is wrong is if I click on my initials in the circle in the upper right, the email in the popup menu has the typo. If I click on “Edit Profile” in the pop-up menu, I see the same incorrect email listed above “Reset Password.”
I ended up changing the information in the user collection as suggested and then Appsmith refused to load. It seems to have broken it. I am not entirely sure why as I only changed items in the user collection.
Regardless, it was not a huge deal as I just rebuilt it from scratch. As a reminder to a future me and other readers, all of the config data lives in ~/stacks, and you have to remove that to do a clean install.
Checked with the team and the conclusion is that changing the emails of existing users is near-impossible/way-too-involved so in your case, the best course of action would be to signup as a separate user with the correct email, and make this new account also another superuser. Please feel free to reach out in case of any other queries.
