How to change a perforce user to superuser

Question

How do I change a standard perforce user to a super user? Seen lots of questions on what to do if the super user password is lost but none on how to create another super user, or give a current user super user permissions.

Answer 1

You will need to update the Perforce Protections table for that user.

For example:

write user jen * //...

becomes:

super user jen * //...

More information about Perforce Protections is here:

Hope this helps, Jen.
