This page provides instructions for navigating Heroku, managing environment variables, switching user roles, and using the Heroku CLI for the Health project.

---

1. Go to Heroku Dashboard.
2. Select the Health project app from your list.
3. Use the tabs (Overview, Resources, Deploy, Metrics, Activity, Access, Settings) to manage your app.

---

1. In the Heroku Dashboard, go to your app.
2. Click on the Settings tab.
3. Reveal Config Vars to view or edit environment variables.
4. Add, edit, or delete variables as needed (e.g., RAILS_MASTER_KEY, DATABASE_URL, custom flags).

---

• Some roles (admin, advisor, student) may be controlled by a flag in the database or as an environment variable.
• To quickly switch a role flag (e.g., from 1 to 0):
  1. Open the Heroku Dashboard > Resources > click "Run Console" (or use Heroku CLI, see below).
  2. Run a Rails console command, e.g.:

     User.find_by(email: '[email protected]').update(role_flag: 1) # or 0

  3. Alternatively, update the flag via environment variable in Config Vars if your app uses ENV for roles.
