Mission

The mission of this extension is to provide a tool to create and update users for staging and development purpose. Thus, it should be only taken as development dependencies for projects.

Additionally, it provides a simple password encoding command, which may be used to encode a password and use it to set the TYPO3 installtool password, for example.

ℹ️ This extension only handles backend user compatible passwords. This means, Frontend Users passwords are not handled.

Version compatibility

Alternatives

TYPO3 Console includes some commands, which (partly) can do which this extension tries to archieve. If you are already using it, maybe existing features suits you. Then stay with that extension.

• https://docs.typo3.org/p/helhum/typo3-console/main/en-us/CommandReference/BackendCreateadmin.html

ℹ️ We are not aware of further extensions providing similar abilities. Let us know if there are some, and we will add them here as alternative.

Installation

You probably want to install this as --dev dependency.

$ composer require --dev sbuerk/typo3-ensure-admin

Usage

ensure admin user

$ vendor/bin/typo3 sbuerk:admin:ensure [options]

      --json                 Response with json for tool usages.
      --force                Force admin user creation, means updating existing one.
  -h, --help                 Display help for the given command. When no command is given display help for the list command
  -q, --quiet                Do not output any message
  -V, --version              Display this application version
      --ansi|--no-ansi       Force (or disable --no-ansi) ANSI output
  -n, --no-interaction       Do not ask any interactive question
  -v|vv|vvv, --verbose       Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug

This command can be used to create or update admin user. If a user exists, the --force flag must be provided to update the admin user.

Additionally, this command supports JSON Response results instead of normal text outputs, which may be used for integrating in other tools or workflows. Use the --json flag to retrieve JSON Results.

Some options are required and mandatory, others are optional. Options can be provided as command line options or as Environment Variables, except --json and --enforce flags.

ℹ️ If for an option both variants are provided, the option variants preceeds the Environment Variable variant.

JSON Response structure:

{
    "success": true,
    "message": "Success or error message"
}

Normal mode and JSON result mode both provides proper exit codes, which may be used as a first indicator without really reading the output.
