How to create the initial admin user

Added by Jennifer Beach over 6 years ago

Greetings - I'm a long time PM but new to OpenProject. We have successfully installed it on a laptop (Ubuntu 18.04). What we cannot figure out is how to create the initial Admin account so we can set up users. We are a clean tech start-up working on grants so don't have money for installation support but are pretty capable when it comes to Linux so are hoping someone can give us a clue on this topic to get us going. Your consideration is appreciated.

Hi Jennifer,

in a packaged installation, running openproject configure for the first time will create an admin user with the username and password set to admin. You will be asked to change the password after initial login.

In a manual installation, you will need to run bundle exec rake db:seed to have the same effect.

Best,

Oliver
