Hi Alexandru,

this happens when you use OpenProject in development mode and seed the database.
The reason is that in development you often want to quickly test something without using the data in any productive way.

If you want to use OpenProject in a production setting, you should use the production environment.
When you seed the database in production, only the admin user account is created.

Note that by default the development environment is being used when you start OpenProject.
You need to specify that you want to use the production environment (“RAILS_ENV=production”) to use this.

Example:

• to seed the database

bundle exec rake db:seed RAILS_ENV=production

• to start OpenProject in production:

bundle exec rails server RAILS_ENV=production

Please have a look at the installation instructions for the steps required to use OpenProject in production.

Best,
Robin
