Are you trying to add one user or one hundred?

to invite a user

  • Click your avatar,
  • click gear,
  • click invites
  • type their email address or ou can invite a bunch of people with a CSV file

Create an account

  • log out
  • create account (as the user would)
  • log in as admin
  • admin/users
  • find the user
  • activate

I want to create a user to act as a service account, but Iā€™m using single sign on and would need to do quite a bit of work to actually get a service account from the underlying user provider there. In other words, I donā€™t know how to do the create an account step or invite step.

I understand I could create a new user by switching away from SSO for a while and then back, is that what I need to do or can I manage to create a user without doing this?

Perhaps there is a ruby related command I can run from the terminal of my virtual machine that has a /var/discourse folder with ./launcher etc in it.

Perhaps there is a SQL query I can run from somewhere?

Then maybe what you want is

cd /var/discourse 
rake admin:create

In spite of the name, making the user an admin is optional.

Edit : oops left out enter app as noted below

Aha! Tank you for your help @pfaffman!

This is what I did for my docker-stacks installation that got ā€œCommand ā€˜rakeā€™ not foundā€ without adding some steps.

sudo -s
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rake admin:create

Tadaaaaaaaaa! Verified success!

Oops! Sorry. I was poking on my phone before having coffee. :slight_smile:

Glad it was enough to get you there.

Has the method of inviting a single user from your User Preferences page (gear icon) changed? I see no reference to anything regarding an ā€œinviteā€ on that page. Thanks.

Nevermind. I see where invites are disabled with SSO
