Magento 2 – Add Admin From Command Line

January 1, 2020

To add an admin user to a Magento 2 site from the command line, SSH to the server and change to the root directory of the Magento 2 install. Then run this command:

php bin/magento admin:user:create --admin-user=jdoe \
   --admin-password=mypassword \
   --admin-email=jdoe@acme.com \
   --admin-firstname=John \
   --admin-lastname=Doe

php bin/magento admin:user:create --admin-user=jdoe \

--admin-password=mypassword \

--admin-email=jdoe@acme.com \

--admin-firstname=John \

--admin-lastname=Doe

On a server with Plesk a few notes: It’s best to run this command as the user that owns the website subscription. You may need to set the path to the correct PHP version with “export PATH=/opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php:$PATH”. If you get “PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxxxxxx bytes exhausted” then edit the php.ini file for the correct PHP version and increase the “memory_limit” setting.
