This guide will allow you to change the role that has been assigned to a user.

In the current default setup of GeekShop (application by DevDojo) it is not possible to change the role assigned to a user. This means that you cannot select another user to be administrator of your GeekShop application.

How to do that?

First we will allow everyone to change the role assigned for a user, in order to do this go to Tools > Database in the admin menu. On that page you must find the users table and select Edit BREAD.

Now you will see a page with a lot of settings about how Voyager (the admin panel) handles CRUD'ing the users table. What you will need to do is to scroll down to the role_id field and set the following options for that field.

Once that is done change the Model Name to be App\User and then hit save.

Now you will see a error if you go visit the users page. This is because the BREAD settings requires a relation to be made in the User model.

So open op app/User.php and add the following function:

    public function roleId()
    {
        return $this->role();
    }

Once that is done you will now see the list over users again (without a error message this time). Besides that you will now be able to edit the role assigned to a user.
