[ Bug ] DNS entry missing for admin.TOWER_URL

[gwright99]

As per ticket 5287, when the root user of the Seqera Platform receives an email to grant a new user access permission, the link on that email points to:

admin.TOWER_URL

That DNS entry is not created on cx-field-tools-installer, and the link fails.

Note, while trying to test this out, I was not receiving notifications that a non-whitelisted user was trying to sign in. This is because the notification email is NOT sent to the root users (like I thought) but rather to the TOWER_CONTACT_EMAIL entry (tower_contact_email in terraform.tfvars file).

Various follow-up links:

• CX-Eng Slack thread
• Tower URL-building code
• Platform bug tracking this issue

It looks like admin.TOWER_URL endpoint was pointing to tower-admin app, that has been deprecated.

As per platform issue, the email will be updated to reflect the new endpoint <TOWER_SERVER_URL>/admin/users.

No need to create a admin.TOWER_URL endpoint.

Thanks @adriannavarrobetrian - I'll keep this Issue open until Eng implements the patch upstream.
