Add support for initial admin creation

[liam-silvatech]

🚀 Feature Request

It would be great if we can have an environment variable such as PWP__ADMIN_LOGINS that takes a comma separated list of emails. These emails at start are added to the database and emailed a registration link along with a promotion to admin.

🔈 Motivation

Using the docker container on some services such as Azure App Service does not allow for SSH or CLI access. This then disabling the ability to create admins.

🛰 Alternatives

Not sure how else we could achieve this without CLI access. But open to ideas.

📎 Additional context

Looking to run a self hosted login only with no sign-up enabled. Can't be done when there is no CLI access.

I wasn't aware SSH or CLI wasn't an option in Azure App Service...that's good to know.

Fair feature request. I'll see if I can add something like this soon.

As a temporary work-around, you could directly access the database and set the admin field to true.

UPDATE users
SET admin = 1
WHERE email = '[email protected]';

Just be careful. Make sure only the accounts you want are marked as admin:

select email from users where admin = 1;

admin is a boolean column - you might have to use true instead depending on the DB type you are using.

Thanks for the prompt reply and supporting the suggestion.

We got access to the DB to run the command as a workaround. It's up and running now perfectly.
