# WP-CLI Network Site Meta Format Question

 * I accidentally **deleted all my super users** on my wp **multisite**.
    I did 
   this by trying to add a new super user via the command line with the following**
   wp-cli** command:
 * `wp network meta update 1 site_admins exampleuser`
 * This overwrote the entire entry and set it only to “_exampleuser_“. I believe
   I did not pass the value, _exampleuser_, correctly. Previously when I ran
 * `wp network meta get 1 site_admins`
 * The return value was in this format:
 *     ```
       array (
         0 => 'username1',
         0 => 'username2',
       )
       ```
   
 * I feel I can fix this problem if I know how to format the entry correctly
 * `wp network meta update 1 site_admins exampleuser`
 * What do I need to use for the **–format** parameter?
    How to I enter the site
   admin into the site_admin network meta table?

 * To fix add the following to your **wp-config.php** file:
 * `$super_admins =array( exampleuser' );`
