Add users to the platform

There are three methods to add users to a platform:

• GUI based: Sign up
• GUI based: Invite users to an account
• Docker: Invoke admin tool in Dashboard container

Sign up

If the SMTP service is enabled, everyone can register to the service on the main page. An email will be sent and has to be confirmed by the owner of the address.

Invite users to an account

With SMTP service enabled, account admins can invite additional users. To do this, the admin has to navigate to the Account page (e.g. by selecting Account in the side menu) and then select the Users tab. An email will be sent and has to be confirmed by the owner of the address.

Invoke admin tool

This command can be executed in the Dasboard container as follows:

docker exec -it <container-name> node /app/admin addUser <email> <password> <role>

• is the name of dashboard container, e.g. platformlauncher_dashboard_1
