How to change the user roles in .conf files

Hello

Accidentally I changed the admin role for my admin user in the Splunk UI.
By default
Admin user - admin role and user role.

Now
Admin user - only user role.

So I cant access the Settings --> Access Control.

How can I change the admin roles in the conf files.

Thanks

Edit $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/authorize.conf and remove importRoles attribute from the role_admin stanza to restore the default roles.
