Package Exports
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (strapi-plugin-init-admin-user) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Installation

# npm:
npm install strapi-plugin-init-admin-user
# yarn:
yarn add strapi-plugin-init-admin-user
Create these environment variables with your initial values.
INIT_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
INIT_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin
INIT_ADMIN_FIRSTNAME=Admin
INIT_ADMIN_LASTNAME=Admin
INIT_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@init-strapi-admin.strapi.io
It is also possible to use INIT_ADMIN
as JSON-String instead of the environment variables above.
INIT_ADMIN='{"username": "admin", "password": "admin", "firstname": "Admin", "lastname": "Admin", "email": "admin@init-strapi-admin.strapi.io"}'
If you decide to also use this plugin outside of development
-mode you also need to add the following environment variable (or use INIT_ADMIN
as JSON-String).
INIT_ADMIN=true
Usage
After installing the plugin and creating your environment variables start your strapi (locally: npm run develop
) and watch out for the info
-log:
Created admin (E-Mail: admin@init-strapi-admin.strapi.io, Password: [INIT_ADMIN_PASSWORD]).
Note: By default the plugin will only create an initial admin-user if there is no existing user in your strapi application!
