backenduser:create

Create a backend user with all available permissions

Creates a backend user with all available permissions.

Arguments:

Argument	Required	Description
username	Yes	Backend username
password	Yes	Initial password
email	Yes	Email address
firstname	No	First name (defaults to username)
lastname	No	Last name (defaults to username)

Options:

Option	Description
--if-not-exists	If a backend user with the same username or email already exists (including a deleted one), skip creation and exit successfully without changing that user. Without this option, a duplicate username or email fails with an error such as “The email has already been taken.”

Examples:

php artisan backenduser:create admin secretpass [e-mail] John Doe

Create the user only if it does not already exist, which is useful for setup scripts that may run more than once:

php artisan backenduser:create --if-not-exists admin secretpass [e-mail]
