Creating a User from the Command Line

There are 2 ways you can create a user from the command line:

1. Passing user's password as an argument:

python manage.py createuser --username <username> --password <password>

2. Interactively setting user's password:

python manage.py createuser --username <username>

You will then be prompted to enter and confirm a password.

• If you want to make the user a staff, you can append the --is-staff argument:

python manage.py createuser --username <username> --is-staff

• Another argument you can use with this command is --email

python manage.py createuser --username <username> --email <email>

• To get a list of supported commands:

python manage.py createuser --help
