admin panel inaccessible

[Euphorbium]

How can I get to admin panel? When I go to ^/admin, I get redirected to homepage, and if I am not logged in, I get redirected to log in page. But there is no way to log in with a user created with a createsuperuser command. I have tried to make regular user a superuser via a database, but it also gets redirected to home page.

Currently you have the only choice:

1. Log in using one of the login methods (OpenID/OAuth/Persona).

2. Open Django shell bin/django shell_plus and run following commands:

   >>> u = User.objects.get()
   >>> u.is_superuser = u.is_staff = True
   >>> u.save()

3. Then you should be able to access /admin/.

A'm leaving this task in backlog as a user story for improvement to avoid this manual process.
