Commandline tool to create user

[joe-blocher]

Inspired by wasaluduckworth/add-admin-user-programmatically-in-ghost I have created a tool for adding users manually without the need for invite with mail.

1. Create as js-file “users.js” in the root-directory of your ghost website
   

   

2. users.js

require('./current/core/server/models/role');
const UserModel = require('./current/core/server/models/user');
const {Command} = require('./current/node_modules/commander');
const program = new Command();

program.command('add')
    .description('Add a new user')
    .option('--name <name>', 'Name')
    .option('--email <email>', 'Email')
    .option('--password <password>', 'Password')
    .option('--role <role>', 'Role','Editor')
    .action(async (options) => {
        const {email, name, password, role} = options;

        try {
            await UserModel.User.add(
                {
                    email,
                    name,
                    password,
                    roles: [role],
                },
                {}
            );
            console.log('User added successfully.');
        } catch (err) {
            console.error('Error adding user:', err);
        }
            
       process.exit();
    });

program.parse(process.argv);

3. Execute

node users.js add --email editor@domain.com --name John --password atleast10chars 

You can add a --role too:
Role can be Administrator || Editor || Author || Contributor
Default: Editor
