How to set admin attribute to true in rails console (pry)?

Right now when I change User.first.admin = false, to User.first.admin = true it does not save. Even if I run User.first.save afterwards. While if I make 

variable = User.first
variable.admin = true
variable.admin

it will return true(default is false)

But the user in my actual application is still not given the extra features they would be if admin = true, so how do I properly set admin to true for my first User in the rails console(with pry) ? Thanks for the help.

Alternatively, after variable.admin = true, you can just run

variable.save
