I setup a localhost for test discourse. When I run

./launcher enter app

to get into the docker as root

how can I add discourse users and emails like

rake admin:create

?

Thanks.

rails c
u = User.create!(username: "name", email: "name@email.com", password: "password")
u.approve(Discourse.system_user, false) # if manual approvals are required
u.activate

If the user should be an admin, add , admin: true to the create line inside the parentheses; likewise for moderators.

Great. It is ok.

rake admin:invite is very useful for inviting admins.

Using this method, will the new user receive an invite email?
I am setting up a SSO site and I want to create accounts for all of my existing users without them receiving any email.

Turn on the disable_email site setting before adding the users to suppress the welcome emails.

Anyone have a way to script this for multiple users?

@Jared_Needell - I did a simple kludgey thing for multiple users:
with a csv of all my users, I put them into a google sheet and created essentially this line for each entry with a string formula:

=“u = User.create!(username: '”&B45&“', email: '”&A45&“', password: ‘xxx’, mailing_list_mode: ‘true’);u.approve(Discourse.system_user, false) ; u.activate”

I then put the strings created into a file on the server (mail-import.rb), opened the console and typed:

load ‘./mail-import.rb’

It worked a treat

I do have a question about email notifications using this method.

I have added users through the console using the following commands:

u = User.create!(username: ‘xx’, email: ‘xx@xx.com’, password: ‘xxx’, mailing_list_mode: ‘true’);u.approve(Discourse.system_user, false) ; u.activate

I have enabled “Send all new users a welcome message with a quick start guide” in http://forum.brickfield.org.uk/admin/site_settings/category/uncategorized

However, emails are not being sent to users being added in this way. They are being sent to users I add through the web front end … (ie it’s not an email problem).

I want the users I add automatically to receive the welcome email - I am migrating a googlegroup and the welcome email will be useful in moving people. So does anyone know how I can alert the system to these added users being “new” users from the point of view of receiving the welcome message?

Thank you for any help

Tony

This is helpful! Is there a way to assign the user(s) to groups from command?

we can send an invite user then copy link invite user and create user in other tab

I successfully used Jens Maier’s solution above, but there was no welcome email … I actually wanted a welcome email. Using the latest v1.8.0.beta7 with virtually default docker installation options and emails are working fine otherwise (I get a welcome email if I send an invite from the admin panel).

Any ideas?
