I have an instance AWX which authenticates using Github Enterprise Organisation. I would like to designate certain users with the “is\_superuser” flag. I have seen that I can first create the user via GUI or API and in the process set the “is\_superuser” flag but this requires setting a local password. Is it possible to do this without first creating the user?
