I have one Gerrit server deployed. My Gerrit server was configured with one LDAP administrator user. Due to some cleanup activity that LDAP user was deleted by LDAP admin. And now I got the new LDAP user. I replaced the user configuration where the last user was configured in secure.config file. And then changed the user at Jenkins as well. And review are going on fine.
After I made the changes in secure.config file with the new user. I was in assumption that this user will become the next administrator of Gerrit. But I can see it is not. And using the old user I am not able to login. Now Hoe can I make the new user as Gerrit admin?
Changed the setting and reverted back, and login again with the new user but no luck.

Used Gerrit version: (2.11.8)
You need to add the new LDAP user to the "Administrators" group.
