How do I add an admin user with Opti 12?
- Page Owner: Not Set
- Last Reviewed: 2021-11-04
I'd like to add an admin user to my very fresh Opti 12 site
Answer
Alternatively and preferably for CMS 12
Use services.AddAdminUserRegistration
In your startup add
services.AddAdminUserRegistration
Then you can access /Util/Register and create an admin account
