+Run the following SQL query on the database to make your account an admin:
+
+```sql
+UPDATE "Person"
+SET role = 'ADMIN'
+WHERE email = 'your-email-address'
+```
+
+2. **Student Volunteer**: Sign in with your bu.edu email using OAuth
+
+```sql
+UPDATE "Person"
+SET role = 'USER'
+WHERE email = 'your-email-address'
+```
+
+3. **Third-party**: Sign in with your Google email using OAuth
+
