[QUESTION] How to add a new user in OMW?

[Rohitesh-Kumar-Jain]

Hi,

I want to create a new user, I tried running this command

OMW % python scripts/add-user.py omw/db/omw.db newUser realName email@gmail.com

I thought that this should work, but this isn't working, how can I make a new user?

Sorry for the delay. First, if you get ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'omw', then try specifying PYTHONPATH to help it along:

(env) $ PYTHONPATH=. python scripts/add-user.py -h
usage: add-user.py [-h] [--user USER] [--name NAME] [--email EMAIL] [--level LEVEL] [--group {common,admin}] [--affiliation AFFILIATION] db

positional arguments:
  db                    path to the user database

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --user USER           username
  --name NAME           real name
  --email EMAIL         email address
  --level LEVEL         access level (default: 0)
  --group {common,admin}
                        access group (common|admin)
  --affiliation AFFILIATION
                        user's affiliation (default: sys)

From the usage synopsis, it seems like maybe you need to use some options? For instance:

(env) $ PYTHONPATH=. python scripts/add-user.py \
  omw/db/omw.db \
  --user newUser \
  --name realName \
  --email email@gmail.com

Thanks for the help 😄

Actually, I was also using the wrong path to the database, as the users table is in the admin.db

PYTHONPATH=. python scripts/add-user.py \ omw/db/admin.db \ --user newUser \ --name realName \ --email email@gmail.com

The above command can be used by new users for reference.
