[OpenSource] Authentification with OAuth. How to create an admin user.

[malte-baumann]

I am implementing an auth-hook in my case with keycloak. Similar to your Examples.
That does work, I can successfully login with SSO.
My Question:
Is it possible to create an admin user this way? How can I elevate my role to admin?

Hi @malte-baumann you can use the user service to create an admin email, something like:

await userService.createUser({
                'Your Name',
                '[email protected]',
                RoleName.ADMIN,
            });

The code is available here:

unleash/src/lib/services/user-service.ts

Lines 212 to 215 in 064744b

	async createUser(
	{ username, email, name, password, rootRole }: ICreateUser,
	auditUser: IAuditUser = SYSTEM_USER_AUDIT,
	): Promise<IUserWithRootRole> {

You see that you can also send in the password, but having it in code might be a security risk, but there are ways.

Let me know if that helps! Also, remember that you can use our community slack: https://unleash-community.slack.com/
