# Quick Reference for common admin tasks

Some administrative actions currently [require using the gotosocial CLI](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/cli/) and aren't available in the settings ui.

To use the gotosocial CLI, you need to somehow pass your config to it. These examples use `--config-path`.

#### Confirming a user's account

You may need to do this to activate a user if they weren't able to receive an email from the node. There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to re-send the email.

```bash
cd /gotosocial/
sudo -u gotosocial ./gotosocial --config-path ./config.yaml \
    admin account confirm \
    --username username_to_confirm
```
